    If they really wanted to do something about pollution they would ban private jets. šŸ˜‚

    The real reason is that they want to make sure that you have a computer controlled car that they can track and shut down if they want to.

    Leave California and let them collect money from the homeless.

    Yet the people of CA keeps voting in the same leadership year after year?

    Years ago, California had an agency called the Inspection and Maintenance Committee. They would do an independent survey every two years. The last review they did in 2009 showed that the total number of pre ā€˜75 vehicles on the road made up less than .05%, and even if they were removed, the impact on air quality would be insignificant. The committee was disbanded shortly after that, and all records and reports have disappeared. But the bureaucrats do know the backlash they will face if they try to push too much legislation on us. And always remember, itā€™s not about air quality, itā€™s about money.

    I wish you all the best in California šŸ™šŸ» itā€™s such a shame to see car culture being destroyed by legislation

    Every custom car builder, restorer and aftermarket company should immediately make plans to move your shops/businesses to other states where you'd be welcome
  • This will be going world wide, reason, they want you in an electric car that they can 'shut off'.

    Be resilient California! Dont let legislation run you're lives
  • I was born and raised in So. Cal. and left at age 20. I live in Arizona now and I don't miss Cali one bit. In seven years, I have driven my '71 C10 about 10K miles and I'm exempt from emissions testing. The state should be called "Californication" because it's always trying to screw it's residents!
  • @MrRJDB1969
    I have an old vehicle, I prefer them. It isn't about the environment, it's about control. They want control over every aspect of our lives. My '47 Frazer, which I've had for 38 years now and only drive maybe, twice a month, I'm sure causes no problem to our "environment", but they'll make an issue with it. A future electric car, with a computer in it's dash someplace, can be traced, tracked, and who knows, shut down remotely, if they so choose to. An old car they can't control and so, they use a drummed up environmental issue, to do so.
  • Sad thing is my classic car emissionā€™s are lower than my new car. Itā€™s also better maintained better than most newer cars on the road
  • @RipRoaringGarage
    Youre making the assumption that they care about air or environment. Its not about any of that and only about total control.
