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.

    I mean half of me wants to say fuck off, I don’t have to prove anything to you, but I can’t resist proving you wrong. Sauerkraut is the poster.

    Storing cars is also devastating for the environment and society. We have as much land and resources devoted to housing cars as we do to housing people. I’ve seen so many houses that have garages as big as their house + a paved driveway + each city needs 3 publicly funded parking spots per car.

      Heh. Well, these modern communicatin methods only survive by the discourse created within them. So kudos for participating :) But what you pasted is different than what you said “leaving a car in a garage is environmentally devastating”. They are talking plural and systemic, as you read the first line and past the first sentence. As our world population grows and we run out of habitable space, car storage will start to take a back seat.

      When I lived in Ontario in a few cities with lits of developable space people built 2-4 car garages, and shopping places had giant parking lots. Here in BC where livable land is more finite underground parking is common for housing units and stores. But that is still wasted space and effort, compared to European cities that have amazing public transit.

      Anyway, I realize I can be pedantic, so I hope you have a good Monday.
