Very good point.

If the EPA could monetize going after the owners and generate some revenue in the process I would watch out. They have done the same thing with traffic tickets and red light cam's.

With the cash for clunkers programs and fuel price increases and new fuel economy standards and Detroit unable to sell any of their horrible cars I would not be surprised if they started going after owners like us for minor issues like this just to drive our costs up and perhaps land a few of us in a fabulous plastic hybrid in the process.
