[quote=ocrenter]So what should we do if CARB is too strict? let loose since we’re going to have smog no matter what? what would be the alternative?[/quote]
There is a happy medium. Rules that aren’t unreasonable, that’s all. As they are now, CARB happily enacts rules that clean the air an immeasurably small amount, but also force a thousand small businesses out of state. (A number I pulled out of thin air, but you get the idea, and it’s not far from the truth.)
Besides, all some of these unreasonable rules do is inconvenience car enthusiasts – it doesn’t prevent them from modifying their cars, and the vast majority (like me) go unnoticed. Worst case, a cop or judge forces them to see a state referee, so they have to spend a weekend of wrenching to stock out before the appointment. Then it all goes back on.
