We are screwed smog law passed Options

[dmenche914]

AB 2683 passed the Senate transport committee, which means it will continue on for more votes. This will require smog tests for 1976 cars and newer forever, even when they are forty, fifty years old!

Here is the breakdown of votes:

Murray, Figueroa, Florez, Perata, Scott, Speier, and Torlakson all voted Yes, BASTARDS!!!

Ashborn, Karnette, Morrow, all did not vote, CHICKEN SHITS!!!

Mc Clintock, and Brulte voted No, HEROS!!!

It appears it now goes to another Senate Committee, I will try to keep you all updated on this crummy law.

Please call the Bastards, and Chicken Shits, and let them know how disapointed you are in them, and please call the Heros thank them, and ask them what you can do to help get this law struck down as it procededs thru the senate.

Step back for a moment and look at the piles of cars on the road today. All of them are dumping smog into the air.

I agree, the California visual requirement is bad, especially with the new dyno testers.

I don't agree or disagree with you statements however: My car is bone stock as well as Tom 76 914. Now say (example) Tom has to start Dyno testing his car and it fails the sniffer test, where previously it did not. The logic just doesn't add up. Add the Dyno testing element and cars will fail sniffer testing even if running well. And of course the State will cheerfully give Tom 500$ and scrap his low mile 914. Then sell that smog credit back to a large polluting company who pollutes more. Thank you very much. Given the outlook this could and will happen.

Smog Testing in a good idea but, I should not have to worry just because of a few politicians and their allies decided to change the playing field and move the goal posts that much farther. Instead they should concentrate on just sniffer testing and promote sensible cleaner fuels without MTBE.
