California trying to pass another Car killing law.
There new great Idea is any car that 1969 or Newer needs to pass smog standers of today modern cars.
I asked the older cars did not come with the smog equipment so what’s the deal CA is saying you need to put it on to pass Smog.
This is just a way to get older cars off the road another way to make people that can’t buy afford car go to the poor farm. And get our classic cars off the road.
All I can say about this New So call law they are trying to put in affect is there bunch on *** Hole in charge making more stupid laws that are not needed for those tree huggers.
It seems like the idiots in charge are the ones that can afford a ¼ million dollar + car and a multimillion dollar + homes not the everyday Joe that trying to get ends to meet feed the family keep a roof over their families heads trying to own a older car that they always wanted when they were younger or having a car just to get them around because that’s all they can afford.
I not going to Lie to have a Brand New Corvette but I can afford a $127000.00 Aluminum framed 650 HP Top on the line Corvette like those *** hole in charge trying to pass laws that us normal everyday Joes are forced to live by.
I can Say Is (BOHICA) Bend Over Here It Comes Again.

It's not possible to bring 60s, 70s, 80s cars to todays standards, so I call BS. Don't think you have all your facts straight.

and- anyone owning a pre 75 car is not using it to get to work, it's more than likely a toy, so I don't think your take on 'making a living' has anything to do with it.

I would not call BS, I'd believe it. It's probably another way for those morons to try to control your life. They think everyone should be driving around in those "Obamamobile" "Smart cars" to save the spotted grasshoppers or whatever. It always seems to start in California, then places like NY, Mass, etc are right behind.

At the very least, more information should be learned - if this IS in fact what you say, it would be a variation of the "cash for clunkers" BS - another way to take away good old cars and put people into what "they" think we should be driving.
