Yea, Georgia's got that too, I'm going to have to start submitting my cars to the emission tests. I pride myself on keeping my old cars running, I hope they don't force me to get a new one!

They also require you to get the 'smog only' test every year if you have an older car. Whereas some time ago, you only had to get a standard smog test every other year. My classic 1977 truck was just one year away from being smog exempt - d'oh! I think it used to be any vehicle older that 30 years was smog exempt then they changed it and set the year at pre 1976. I think.

They tried that here in VA also. They even wanted everyone to give up any non running classic people were keeping for parts cars etc...

That's about as far as they can go at the moment.
Soon, will come big taxes to make you give up.

Coming soon to a State near you too.

SEMA... http://www.sema.org/ is fighting this nonsense by going after this kind of legislation to get rid of older and classic cars.

Ya know what really makes me mad?  I drive a car which is 25 years old but gets 30 MPG on the freeway and 25-27 MPG in town.  Obviously it gets good mileage compared to a lot of cars out there but the State of California is trying to force me to junk my "polluting" car.  What up with that?

You mistakenly believe that these people actually have that in their consciousness. Lots of people don't even think twice about what they put in their mouths, or the trash they put into the world. How many people do you see carrying around those damned plastic water bottles?

I know!  

Those big vehicles use so much more resources than is necessary... the entire world should be taxing them.   I don't get how people are so comfortable using up the planet like that.  All the big-ass pick up trucks have been irking me.  The people who drive them, use the back 70% of the vehicle about .5% of the time, if at all.  It is ridiculously wasteful.

Sounds like a typical, clueless American.  I can't speak for the rest of the world really, because I've never been out of this country, but we are a society of thoughtless, inconsiderate, rude, short-sighted morons.

I went to my bank yesterday to use the ATM machine. At this branch it's one you have to walk up to instead of a drive up one. Right up near the ATM are a few parking spaces, and in the first non-handicap one is a large SUV parked with it's engine running, radio on, but no one inside. Obviously, it belongs to the young girl presently using the ATM. I am being kind by saying this girl is quite hefty.

She seems to be at the ATM for a good 10 minutes while I'm waiting patiently next in line. I can't believe someone is so lazy and idiotic enough to leave their car running and wasting fuel and polluting our environment. Don't you read the newspapers? Don't you watch the news? Do you have any idea what's going on in the world? People are fighting wars and dying on oil rigs for the fuel that runs your big clunker. I'm like *this* tempted to jump in the SUV and drive it around the parking lot just to teach her a lesson.

But, before I do, she finishes, and then I'm able to step up to use the ATM. While I'm going through the menus, I notice her get in the SUV and proceed to go through her money and papers. The car is still parked and running.

I finish, and while I go to my car, I see this same girl exit her car and go back to the ATM. Again, her car is still parked and running! She was still at the ATM when I pulled out of the parking lot.

Does anyone know where I can purchase one of those toy guns that shoots suction cup darts with message flags on them? I would like to get a bunch that say "Idiot!" on the flags so I can use it to target all the Nimrods I come across on a daily basis.
