URGENT REGULATORY ACTION ALERT

SUPPORT REVISIONS TO CALIFORNIA SCRAPPAGE PROGRAM

As you may be aware, the California Air Resources Board has set up a system to notify the public of the availability of scrapped vehicles and parts before they are destroyed.
Through this program, consumers interested in scrapping their vehicles will contact an authorized dismantler to set up an appointment to bring the vehicle in for inspection. A
list of the scheduled appointments will be compiled by the dismantler on a daily basis. SEMA successfully arranged for the list to be e-mailed to members of the public who
sign up to receive it. To those who have not yet signed up, please refer to http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/avrp/emailnotification.htm

CARB is now proposing to extend the waiting period before which these vehicles may be destroyed. The proposal would extend the current 7-day waiting period to 10 days
and if any party expressed an interest in a vehicle, the period would be extended another 7 days to allow the party to inspect and possibly purchase the vehicle. In addition,
CARB is proposing to delete the provision requiring dismantlers to first receive the permission of the previous vehicle owner before making the vehicle and/or its parts
available for resale. These are significant advantages to the collector car community!


We Urge You To Contact CARB Immediately and Voice Your Support for These Proposals

1. Support the e-mail notification system.
2. Support the extended waiting period.
3. Support allowing dismantlers to sell vehicles and parts without the permission of the previous owner.

i think I am getting a headache!! Does everything have to be legislated?? If I want to scrap my car in California, can't I just drop it off at the junkyard?? Do I have to get a friggin permit to take my car to the junkyard?? Dont junkyard operators have enough economic incentive to preserve and sell potentially valuable parts rather than grind them up? I really dont understand... too many friggin laws! :confused: MJ

 

I would have thought the COMPLETE FRIGGIN MORONS of the CARB would want to crush cars as fast as they can. Maybe they were smoking too much funny stuff this week :rolleyes:
