Something tells me that's not what he's looking for.

EDIT: As per Heel and toe's observation, let's not forget the draconian car laws.
Rampant crime? You are mistaken. We have our fair share of crime, but it ain't rampant!

Most murderous city's Forbes 2007:

This list has the first Cali city coming in at number 7

I'm the first to admit my anger towards C.A.R.B. and the lady that created the bill that took away the rolling smog exemptions - No, it was not Arnold, though he signed the bill.

What really pisses me off, is the fact that just because a light is on, on my dashboard, means that I automatically fail, even though if you could ignore that light and smog it anyway, it will pass. Apparently, The CEL P0420 code lights up when the cat hits the 50% efficiency level. 50%? There's plenty of cleaning life left for crying out loud! I'd be more amenable to 25-20% efficiency let. I am also pissed that we can't buy aftermarket cats and in the case of Toyota (not sure about other makes), I have to buy the entire exhaust system, not the headers. Why do I need a new muffler? the piping? Sell me the damn cat!

I do understand some of the reasons for not allowing junk yards not to sell used cats.
