Cali proposes to ban black cars?

Tell me this is some sick joke.

Just heard on the radio, California Clean Air Commission wants to ban black autos because they absorb heat and the A/C uses too much energy!!

Madness I say!!

Your state is going bankrupt and this is what they spend their time doing? Fiddling while Rome burns.

WTF?





OTOH, when I used to travel a lot to Israel, one thing that stood out was the preponderance of white or light colored cars there.

Good for California..it is about time someone stood up for the environment...and actually did something about it...maybe if we all say good things about how California is run we can find a su[ker to buy the place...

But the real price is paid by the consumer, who will not only shoulder the OEM cost increase but will also see repair costs increase while losing the freedom to buy a car in their preferred color.
In the future, all cars will be Aubergine. That is all.

Actually of all the era specific colours I really do like the Porsche Eggplant and on the 72 or 73 would be my choice. ....

They're too short-sighted.
The black cars absorb heat, thereby preventing global, er...I mean, climate change....

I guess we better go back to white wall tires also. After all a hot tire gets soft and sticky and that adds to more work on the engine which adds to fuel consumption which....bla bla bla.

This mind set is the reason why I left CARB after I got my engineering degree.
