with the bill S.B. 1549 about changing the smog for pre-1976 cars, and the German laws about classic cars in urban areas, what is your input, and feelings. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
I have to write a research paper for my English class, and i chose this topic becasue i def. have a stance on it (opposed to these laws) and it does concern me becasue i own an old car. I figured that a great addition to the paper is other peoples opinions and reasons for their opinions becasue this concerns almost everyone. If this smog trend continues, more states and governments will go after our 'polluting' old cars on the road. So please chime in!! Thanks in advance for your input! -Ben |

That's what's so BS about the proposed law(s). What percentage of cars on the road on any given day are 30+ years old? 1 in 50? Maybe? And smogging them is going to have a measurable impact on pollution reduction? Whatever! It's another "feel good" law that we dont need on the books and wont do anything beneficial for the ecology. But since, as stated above, we're a relatively small community, with minimal lobbyists, we're an easier target than the gross polluters like Mike referenced above. |

Its the 49 state '73 1.7, but we (my mom) brought it to california back in 75. Every test she had to do she would go to the shop, detune the car a bit, then afterwards raise it back up becasue it would fail (when we didnt do that it did fail lol) I think my argument is just the idea. We as the classic car community seen to be an easy target. |
