Glad I just got one from a yard sale. I don't really have a use for it, just fixed it and think it is nice to stand in my front yard at the beginning and end of each day (within the legal noise ordinance) revving it up and blowing nothing. Just for my neighbours.

Cool with new sales being banned but as far as the existing ones go it's kind of a whatever for me. Sure it's a touch louder but we use an electric in this neighborhood and the blower part is plenty loud too. As far as emissions go I'm sure they're dirty as shit but it's probably not even the worst offender as far as landscaping equipment goes and in the big picture is probably meaningless. If people want to keep the old gassers going as long as they can before buying an electric I don't really give a shit.
