Oh great now, bgd73 you're still here. I know exactly what the "Tesla effect" is that "old scubie" is talking about. Nikola Tesla once hypothesized that given a large enough device to transmit the correct frequency he could destroy the earth, which was after he tested one of his devices on a steel framework for a building. But that was just a story bgd73, you're confusing this natural electrical activities with your old Subaru's tendencies. It's not that grounding is hard to do it's that it's usually poorly done and rust gets the better of it. Your old Subaru just needs better grounding. Some people have claimed their car felt more powerful or at least more responsive after upgrading their vehicle's grounds. Stop letting the Subaru do all of your talking and get your foot off of the bumper.
And yes to the emissions part, just like returning fuel systems I'd imagine. The cheap cars get the worst of it because of that. Anyone else notice that new compact and entry level cars base model's MSRP jumped $3k more between 2007-2009? I did, I'd imagine part of that was safety standards but there were some emissions changes if I'm not mistaken. The Ford Focus received Drive-By-Wire in the Current Generation. Which as a midgrade(not cheap but not luxury either) Compact that's actually surprising.
