They took a Jeep and reduced the MPG to 5 gallons to the mile, and from once in a while holding 8th gear to barely able to make it out of 4th (or a manual that is lugging in 3rd struggling to make it up to highway speed)
It's going to cause semi drivers to complain as Jeeps pass them.

Its a non verbal statement and like many statements verbal or otherwise...Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt.

Bring it to Iowa - we still operate steam locomotives for tourism and rail tours, we operate steam tractors at celebrations and festivals, and there's no emissions checks on anything, new or old.
Thousands of people here have wood burning stoves, fireplaces, even wood stoves to heat shops.

Steam power would make that thing almost unstoppable. Steam tractors always win in tractor pulls, walking right out the gate with the fully-loaded sled and barely breathing hard.

There is a steam and tractor show every year not far from me. I'll go and see it about ever other year.

A lot of places now want you to install a catalytic converter wood burner if it's a new install.
