Sounds like a money grab, no? How many folks drive 40+ year old cars consistently? Maybe its more an issue in arid climates where cars don't rust away.. In the NE, thats hard to do.

Also, currently many European cities have banned older diesel cars from city centers due to smog/tailpipe emissions.

its not hard to say similar legislations wouldn't hit here, although I'd it expect it to start in LA and spread to the NE cities that use CA emissions standards.

For those with the means, it won't be a real issue either through a "use tax" or an "ev conversion" scenario. For the poor, yes, it means they will need alternate transportation. A car is NOT a constitution right afterall.. its all at the whim of those we elect.
