Jay Leno’s star power wasn’t enough to persuade a California legislative committee to pass a measure to allow owners of classic cars like him to be exempted from the state’s rigorous smog-check requirements.

Imagine being rich and famous and this is your political cause. What an effing creep.

    They mean a large garage takes up land, after so many houses with a giant garage you could have space for dense housing which is proven to be better for the environment. Urban sprawl is a waste in many areas.

      You can spin it whatever way you want, it was stupid and that’s not what they said.

        Its exactly what they wrote …we have as much land devoted to housing cars as people etc. The inference meaning it is inefficient use of land, and everyone knows urban sprawl is a terrible waste and creates additional costs

          They wrote ‘leaving A car in a garage is ENVIRONMENTALLY DEVASTATING’.

          Perhaps what they meant and you think you read was, building multi storey car parks is environmentally damaging.

          But they didn’t say that.

          So like I said, you can spin it whatever way you want, I understand the sentiment but the sentence was stupid.

          Goodbye.
