Realization is a concept not always adopted by governments, companies and certain individuals until it is too late.

Back to DEF:

FWIW, I drove a later model 3500 Cummins with a stick and didn't like it, and not because of the stick. DEF or no DEF, I like my truck. If that is considered being "ridiculous" by some, then so be it.
I can relate to that. People keep telling me I should have put a roller cam and fuel injection in my 75 vette when I built the motor. I like making 450 hp with a small block Chevy old school way. Every time I start it I get a nice flashback to my younger days and building engines for the race car and trucks and hot rods. I'll admit the new eengines are more efficient, but I like the old school with a nice cam lope. I did put a 5 speed in it though
