California permitted the vehicles to be sold AND licensed. THEY are responsible.

I wonder why California is always the laughing stock of the nation.

There's that thread drift again with the common theme of the personal details of one who doesn't even own an MB anymore.

I sense a conspiracy.


Since California licensed those vehicles, and still continues to accept tax revenue in the form of registration fees, fuel taxes, sales taxes and anything else in the way of accepting money coming into the public coffers from said automobiles, there is nothing they can say.

And with just a few keystrokes, we're back on topic.

I also do agree that since California licensed those vehicles, and still continues to accept tax revenue in the form of registration fees, fuel taxes, sales taxes and anything else in the way of accepting money coming into the public coffers from said automobiles, there is nothing they can say.

Nope but I don't want one anymore. Since I was 13-14 years old I had a girlfriend all the time until now...I never went longer than 2 months without having one. This is all new to me, I love being single. So much less drama and so much more fun!!!

And while he's at it...

Why not sue the sun for emitting solar flares

Why not sue Ellen Degenera....for the emissions out of her mouth...enough hot air out of that b**ch to suffocate the whole f**king ......

Why not sue the Illegal Aliens for their gas emissions

Why not sue the planet itself for spewing out lava and all those undersea volcanoes that cause El Nino?

Why not sue everybody in California who drives a car and the oil companies who make the gas

Why not enjoin all California Lawyers from using any and all Petroleum based forms of transportation AND then hold them in contempt of Court and jail them for being late to the Courtrooms or not showing up and then fine them heavily

California just passed a new law banning the use of cell phones while driving
BUT the funny part is.......there will be a 2 year waiting period to educate people that cell phone use while driving a car

Any state that needs 2 years to educate its drivers that cell phones are banned in cars must have A LOT of pretty F**king stupid drivers

And you are going to love this,
In California you can't buy a 49 state car, but LAW ENFORCEMENT can buy one, what a bunch of bunch of hypocrites

The companies who got sued should simply REFUSE to sell cars in California.
Period.

Isn't this OPEN DISCUSSION? Where does it state that the prerequisite to posting here is the ownership of an MB?

It's funny that you would single me out when there are others...

Well, when you go into the "city" remember that in New York City there are two preferred modes of transportation,

"By bus

and by Ambulance"

You aren't the only one, but I have to watch what I say to certain people, lest they report me to the mods again.
