The First Small Step Towards Outlawing Automobiles
 

The beginning of the end for automobiles in this country??
http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D8K8VDQG0.htm

As my professor says on the daily basis....

"California, the land of fruits and nuts"

my govt teacher says "California the land of fruits,flakes,and nuts"

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

Hidden agenda?
 

Why are they picking on these guys, they are giving BMW a free ride!!!:confused: :eek:

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

Kamil- Have you found a girlfriend yet?

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.:scholar:

soooooooooooo....

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 :laugh2:

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 ......:mad:

Why not sue the Illegal Aliens for their gas emissions:wacko:

Why not sue the planet itself for spewing out lava and all those undersea volcanoes that cause El Nino?:dizzy2:

Why not sue everybody in California who drives a car and the oil companies who make the gas:idea2:

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:D

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:scholar: :scholar:

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:stupid:

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 :mad:

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...:D

Ever wonder why YOU get singled out?
 

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"

(F. Leibowitz, "Social Studies")

:D :D

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. :D

your secret is safe with me.

Phew, that's a relief. :P

Maybe that's why so many new immigrants to the US, not to mention people moving from one state to another, are choosing to move to New Jersey rather than California.

Or not.:rolleyes:

If I won the lottery, I would move to Jersey. I mean, who wouldn't want to put up with the smell, toxic dumps, and the gregarious down to earth people that live there. Who am I kidding.

Yeah, Jersey rocks, Cali sucks. After all, if Jersey was a country, it would have the world's 6th largest economy (or is it 5th now)? Oops, nope, that's California. Well, Jersey does host the world's premier center of technical innovation, Silicon Valley, rather than that laughingstock, California. Errr, okay, maybe not.

Hey at least New Jersey has the Mob and a governor who resigned for a gay affair with one of his employees! California can't match that!

Right on.

"Since he announced last week that he's gay, outgoing New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey's approval ratings actually went up two points. It went from 43 to 45 percent. Which means, at that rate, he's only got to announce he's gay 27 and a half more times." —Jimmy Kimmel

It's funny that you would bring up governors.....Mr. Governator

Last time California elected an actor as governor, he went on to have a decent career afterward. We'll see how this one does, but given the way he's smacking Angelides upside the head in the election campaign, he seems to have made a successful transition to politics.

I do wonder when the auto makers might just consider ending CA sales entirely until the state decides to play nice. Different kind of hardball...

This isnt the first step just another one...
Get the taxpayers money back, by drawing out a long and expensive suit against some of the worlds largest corporations...
Occasionally a company stops for a year, like Audi didnt sell the 06 TT (with the special edition hardtop 3.2 with different ext/int colors and a black upper portion 2 tone paintjob) or the diesels never sell here. Not real significant, Californians are too stupid to understand why any of this, or anything else for that matter, is bad for anyone.

Stop, you're killing me.

Yeah, them wacky Californians some years back put out what seemed like impossibly high emissions standards.

"OH NO, WE CAN'T DO THAT!! OUR CARS WILL BE GUTLESS!" cried the auto industry and enthusiasts alike. Well, they do have a point. Just think, an S600 might do the quarter in 12.0 instead of only 12.3 if it wasn't encumbered with all that enviro whacko stuff.

Whattayaknow, the standards actually went a long way to making LA's air halfway breathable again, and I believe ushered in the ushering out of leaded fuel. I read that measureable improvements have occurred in kids' intelligence since leaded fuel was scuttled: no leaded air pollutants now, or way, way less anyhow.

If we had half a brain, we'd make big bucks by exporting the same technology to places like Cairo which has unGodly air pollution, I hear.

Yeah, maybe they'd voluntarily forgo billions in sales.

Well sidesplitting man, you hear the kind of dissing New Joisey gets nation-wide?
