      They will not completely ban your classic car, what they will do is make it illegal for the car to be used for anything but parades and car shows. The complicit police will just stop you every time you take out your car and you will need to provide the venue at which your car is going to be at, if you do not have one then they will ticket you or impound your car. I am sure that they will ban classic cars from certain cities during the work week too. They will just make it impossible for you to enjoy your car. BTW the ultimate goal is to have you "Neanderthals" that still cling to your guns, bibles, and gasoline powered cars leave the state, if you own a classic car you are obviously not on the woke crowd and vote the wrong way, so just leave and don't come back... they do not want you there.

      Perhaps the only way to push the Green New Agenda on the masses is to bully and intimidate us?
      They also target the conservative neighborhoods… the rural areas with the fires. Same people get hammered repeatedly. Proper maintenance of forests and less arsonists would alleviate much of that problem. But it’s used to push the Globalist agendas, and our freedoms are the price we pay. If we fight back legally, they attack with modern forms of terrorism and guerrilla warfare, and they literally go scorched earth on us.

      We need to contact pertinent people who will be filling appropriate positions of power in the coming administration. If we reach out NOW… before they get to Washington… they will be easier to reach. (For instance, if you call Gov. Christie Noem, you can speak to and leave messages with a live person who will relay your message to her, and it will probably actually GET to her. South Dakota is still conservative and old fashioned enough to actually employ real people rather than answering machines/ computers, and algorithms to scan and determine which messages have merit. Not to say, live people can’t do that, but live people are easier to hold accountable for their actions, and it is also easier to determine by their response, if they are likely to ensure the message reaches the person intended. In the case of Christy Noem’s office, I called and was greeted quite cheerfully, and my message was received joyfully.
      In this instance, we should reach out to Sean Duffy… see if we can connect on social media and or directly. Since he is Trump’s pick for Dept of Transportation Secretary, we need to reach him with all our concerns.
      EV’s are actually worse on the environment than combustion engines, as the mining for the materials to produce them will devastate even more of our rapidly shrinking virgin land where fragile biomes support endangered wildlife. Also, as mentioned in this video, disposal of EV’s is not as environmentally friendly as conventional automobiles, which are highly recyclable.
      Also, not even addressing, is the fact that combustion engine vehicles CAN be retro fitted with engines that use alternative fuels which are more eco friendly and sustainable, so the push to replace proves itself to be what it is … a two pronged agenda, attacking our freedoms and our finances while simultaneously enriching those who have a vested interest in EV’s or the minerals used to produce them.

    I followed this closely years ago. There used to be a California Inspection Maintenance and Review Committee, that did an air quality study every two years. I believe it was disbanded in either 2009 or 2011, but the last report done specifically stated that the total number of pre ‘76 vehicles on any given day amounted to less that .5% of the vehicles on the road. And that the removal of them would have an insignificant impact on air quality, none.
    That study and related information was available on line, but now seems to have disappeared. But regardless, the study was done and that information exists somewhere.

    • @ExecutionStyleInc

      and is probably less then .5% now because as time goes on, people crash em, sell them out of state or country. The price of a classic just from the junk yard has gone from 2000 to 20,000 because they're so much rarer now.

  • @vintageexcellence
    @vintageexcellence Місяць тому +21

    I was with the crowd on moving the emissions exemption up to 1983 which is catalyst cars and later. But in reality if it is not OBD2 then they can’t really check the system so we should exempt all cars in California from emissions OBD1 and older as the overall emissions from those cars vs the registrations is a no brainer. I own a few 60s and 70s cars, say 5 of them cumulatively drive around 5,000 miles combined on long distance rallies in a year. The 76-95 cars won’t go much further in a year. I have a 79 Porsche turbo and 78 VW camper that I’m terrified to emissions test after restoration, might register them in Montana. They keep looking for further way to reduce emissions and the classic cars are an easy target but not a major solution. I guarantee my 50-60yr old Porsches will outlast all Teslas, true recycling, true sustainability, total rebuildability!

    • @Geotpf
      @Geotpf Місяць тому

      To register them, all they have to do is meet the standards they were required to meet when they were new. If they are in such poor condition they can't meet those standards, or worse yet, you have made modifications to defeat the factory smog equipment, then, yes, they should not be operated for obvious reasons.

    • @vintageexcellence
      @vintageexcellence Місяць тому

      @ ok scientist Geotpf let me explain car guy reality to you #1 you can’t keep some of these cars running the way they were when they were new because parts are not available anymore and California worn’t approve aftermarket emissions parts. #2 The emissions reduction equipment from the 1970s is GARBAGE, they didn’t know what they were doing, the science was very new - the purpose of a Thermal Reactor on a 70s car was to super heat to 1200 degrees to burn off the extra emissions, sound good to you? WRONG superheating exhaust gas creates the 3rd poisonous gas NOx which wasn’t removed till we came up with catalysts. So in reality the removal of a super heat sink attached to your engine not only adds longevity to the car but is actually cleaner than keeping that equipment. #3 California state is so damn strict and unforgiving that they seize expensive emissions equipment and personally fine the operator of said equipment if they feel foul play was done, therefore most shops will not allow pre-tests or even run tests on old cars 76-80s because there have been cases of an old car getting a smog test for registration, passing, then going on the road when some emissions part breaks - the car is stopped at a roadside emissions test where the car fails so they looks up the last shop on the emissions certification - the state comes in, seizes the $100,000 emissions test equipment at the shop and fines the employee $10,000 all for destroying the environment. Sound reasonable to you? Makes more sense on 1996 OBD2 cars with reasonable emissions equipment but makes no sense on antique equipment that drives a few hundred miles per year. Or is it you know nothing about old cars just like the government?

    There is precedence for banning classic cars. Take a look at what the diesel regs did to medium duty trucks and construction vehicles. There was no "buy back" just a ban on registration of vehicles on year of manufacture. If they were to do it, they would probably start with 76-96 (post smog exempt but pre OBD2). Next would be non hybrids from 96 to current. After that, 76 and older.

    You're absolutely right about the impact of this CARB scheme. My company (a commercial service company) adds a fuel surcharge to our bills every time gas goes over $5 a gallon. The merchants pass higher costs on to the consumer. As far as outlawing classic cars. What they would do is the same thing they did with diesel trucks, just outlaw them and let the owners figure put what to do.

    ok, so two things. First off, many, and I'd even go as far as to say MOST, classic cars, hot rods, vintage cars, are actually as clean or cleaner than many NEW cars. Many have newer transplanted drivetrains that are cleaner than their original they replaced. MOST of these cars are very well taken care of and usually better than their new car siblings used as daily drivers. I am from Nevada, and recently drove to California to do some business (we visit California many times a year for family and other activities). During this trip I was noticing how many new-ish vehicles and commercial vehicles had poor emissions and smoked. Maybe there needs to be better regulation regarding these vehicles that currently REQUIRE smog verification. I saw DOZENS and DOZENS of vehicles that should be and are required to pass smog, that had more issues than any classic car. California need to crack down on those.

    My classic car has a 2019 drivetrain in it. This isn't about clean air. A few years back me and a friend converted his 1977 Jeep Cherokee to run on propane. SUPER clean running. The DMV refused to even have any dialogue on the subject and he converted it back into a gross polluter in order to register it.

I would hate to be forced to not drive it. And purchase something new. I believe new cars are crap. I’ve been a professional mechanic since 2001. There’s a very small number of newer vehicles that I would even consider purchasing.

    I have lived in Riverside, California all my life. I was a child in the 1980s. I remember how polluted the air here was back then. I am grateful for the smog controls that have made the air much, much cleaner today. The number of deaths and illnesses such laws have prevented is probably in the millions.
    That being said, nobody is going to take away or ban existing classic cars. As pointed out in the video, most are not driven on a regular basis and are relatively few in number and all studies show that they are not a big portion of the remaining air pollution in California, with the possible exception of somewhat newer vehicles that have had their early smog controls damaged or defeated.

    I live in L.A. and rarely see classic cars in everyday driving, which is a good thing. Almost every time I'm out driving there's an accident because of selfish, moronic behavior. It's not unusual for me to see 3 accident scenes during the day within a 6-7 mile radius. If I had a beautiful vintage classic car, I absolutely would not want to subject it to risk. Extremely dangerous regardless of how careful you are.

      @@patrickmackle2342 Oh God yes! Are you in Ca. also Patrick? Really bad. I don't have a classic car; just my '98 RAV-4 I keep in really good running shape. I just want something to get me from A to B. Hate driving now, want to be in the car as little as possible. I have a really great collection of 1:18 diecast cars though, because I still love classic cars, and can own them via that route. As far as going to a new car show goes, 'f' that. I'll still give it a quick look online, but that's it. As far as car magazines go, used to get Car & Driver and Motor Trend, but stopped around '98. I can't even be bothered to pick one up and look through it when I'm in the store. Very sad, but that's reality now.

    Mike, it is such a shame to have the classic car culture put on the spot in CA. Ur correct in saying it all started in CA. In TN we don't have the many issues u have deal w/. My 77 Vette would not pass the emissions test for sure. All my toys r not daily drivers. But I can take them out for a cruise when ever I want to. Even w/non ethanol fuel, much cheaper to operate here in TN. I remember several yrs ago driving out to CA how high the fuel prices were. Good to see 1 conservative law marker speak up for the classic car culture. Take care & Happy Thanksgiving.
