You should be exiled anyway for calling it Cali.

And without those laws, that would just be a blank gray rectangle.

OHMYGOD you have to actually stop and they ask you about fruit. I mean, it's a gulag. It's like Soviet Communism, only worse. It's like North Korea, except without the spectacle.

Yes, since California ended gerrymandering and had districting done by a nonpartisan committee, it's nothing but Democrats in the legislature for some unknown reason like voting or something.

And LA gets lots of sun which helps create the smog. Yes, historically, that is the reason. LA air was like Bejing air is today before cars started to get cleaned up. As in regularly lung burning and eye watering and smog thick enough to make trees a few blocks away look like grey silhouettes.

Yes and of course the whole 800 miles north to south and 150 miles east to west with the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Sierras down the other has exactly the same weather.

He said "hook up a sniffer". That's how.

Oh the horror of having a law to prevent people from buying cars in bordering state Oregon for people who are California residents! And that smog check! I usually pay $40 for that. Good god I've gotta get away from the oppression.

And I'm pretty sure an out of state car from whatever years CA had some tighter standards than the other 49 has to comply with the federal standards only.

Because of the reputation and the market and fear of not finding a guy named Pierre to fix it, their value dropped like a rock compared to spending the same big bucks on something German or Indian owned British. So people putting the big money into a car also went for the better investment, and if you get a new car…

Yeah, some General pulled something.

Oh righ,t Renault USED to do weird in their own way too.

NO IT IS NOT.

Jaguar?

Author Daniel Pinkwater has said the only car the collie he had back then wouldn't immediately puke in was his DS 21.

Pontiac rules.

Yeah, besides the fact that it was 1952 and that is essentially a prewar car, it is beautiful. And no modern Rolls is remotely beautiful. The Wraith is of course a lot different and a lot better than the rest, but it's still kind of awful anyway.

Is that a bug or a feature? I say feature.

Actually I tried turning off my car years ago. The brakes worked fine two or three times before running out of vacuum. Steering of course immediately lost power.
