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!

Oh boy! Caleefornya!

Let's just say this thing passes. Futher, let's say that the rest of the US takes note of it. We are NOT talking about 914's here, but EVERY classic car on the road.

And that would amount to, in my gut estimation, maybe 1% of the registered cars in the country.

Hmmm! Those of us with '32 Packards & '66 Shelby cars have the ability to save the planet (not that I have either of these). My God, we have such power?

Makes me wonder just how much power the Doctor has, or anyone who has a collection of classic cars. Also makes me wonder why they won't save the world, by cat equipping all the classic Ferraris, etc they own.

Ruthless, inconsiderate bastards! While we're at it, shouldn't the Doctor be required by law to give us all his parts?

Read Atlas Shrugged, by Ayan Rand. I've read it 6 times over 30 years, just to remind me of my conservative roots.

This sooo sucks!

Really? Six times? You know it's Ayn Rand, not "Ayan", then, right? And you know she hated Ronald Reagan?
