Calif AB616

Maybe this is old news to everybody else, but I was reading the freeby hot rod magazine, Drive, today and its the first I have heard of it. This link shows it already passing the assembly. Two things stand out from a first reading to me, all cars older than 15 years would have annual inspections required, and if you meet the income limits repairs would be 100% subsidized without the current $500 limit.

Maybe too late, but I fired off 4 emails, 2x assembly, senate, and Arnold opposing AB616, and noticed this on the Gov's page.

Florida is the 12th state to adopt California’s strict vehicle emissions standards. As part of Florida’s overall strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Governor Crist joins leadership in 11 other states by signing on to California’s vehicle emissions standard.

* Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Washington and Oregon are also following California’s lead.

I saw on the news the other day that China, showing concern for the athletes in next years Olympics, will ban over a million cars from the roads and shut down factories in Bejing to reduce air pollution...that's Communism baby!

In the great State of Maryland, after taking millions and millions of taxpayer dollars to build a network of "Emission Test Stations" all around the state with treadmills, they decided that for all cars with OBD-II, they only hook up the scan tool and look for codes..only the older cars go on the treadmill.

So you pay them $14 (after you wait in line) to hook up a scan tool for ~10 secs and print out the results..of course while your car is sitting on a treadmill that isnt being used! I suggested that, to recoup some of my tax money, they use the treadmills as dynos and charge folks that want to measure HP a few bucks for the test while they are there.

I have a 944 that I had to take in for emissions test..it's no fun watching some gorilla drive your car up to speed on a treadmill!

AB616 due to enthusiasts pouring in the phone calls and emails is dead for this session at least.

Texas doesn't require emissions test beyond 20 years old-----

and no, you folks in California can't register you stuff here just because you live in a perpetual "state" of stupiness.......(ha, ha, ha...)
