possibility of no more CARB

 

Those Columbians must be dancing in the streets!

 

Man that would be great . Rotrex here I come .

 

This would be the greatest thing ever. Turbo only here I come.

 

That too .

 

thought that might result in a few smiles

 

That is good news for those of us who don't live in California but must pay more for our cars because car makers make their cars to meet Cali's standards.

 

I think the article was saying that the extra B.S. that Cali. demands is not legal, or am I not reading it right?

 

Thats the way I read it too.

 

It's a kickback from the fuel economy bill that was overturned yesterday.

Which, as far as I can tell, the overturning was unconstitutional. States have the right to create their own laws...at least that's what I was taught back in 9th grade.

Whatever, it'll go to the 9th circuit, who will overturn the overturning

 

First off, Cali, is a city in Colombia.

Secondly, the Feds overstepped their authority, so expect a lawsuit in the courts.

Don't go running for those mods yet.

 

Cali is also a common abbreviation for California

also it was a while since i took US history, but i think i remember a part of the constitution that said when federal and state laws conflict, the federal one wins, but like i said, i don't remember if there are different circumstances etc

 

Its Ca no matter what the people will end up getting F**Ked on this one, Just like every other law we have in this state.

 

Oh i'm sure some po-duck court in San Fran. or Berkley will overturn anything we want . Dang tree huggers . Hope that abbr. is ok Gromit .

 

BZZZZZZZTTT! Wrong answer! What do we have for the contestant Johnny?

Correct answer: CA

Cali, in reference to CA, is hip-hop slang, and not common at all.

Personally, I'd like to see this stay, as there are things I'd like to do to my MGB when I restore it.

 

lol okay

 

How old is your MGB? If it's 20 or older your fine. I wouldn't mind getting an old 260 0r 280 Z and dropping in some turbo motor in it .

 

I can't resist, so don't hold it against me.

Nobody from California calls it "Cali", but it seems everyone from everywhere else does.

Just a pet peeve of mine.

 

i do

jimmini- the car needs to be 30 years old and our governor actually ended that rule a couple of years ago. so the cutoff year is 1975. IIRC

 

The governator is suing the fed over this, so don't expect this to last. By the way 13 states currently use the CARB standard. A Province of Cananda has also decided to follow the CARB standard as well.

 

Yea your right I just checked . 1975 is the date, that still leaves the 260Z good.

 

As predicted, CA has filed a suit in federal court to familiarize the EPA with the 10th Amendment.
