California is one of the most wasteful states IMO. It's rediculous how many cars get tossed cause of SMOG.

The brime is extremely corrosive to cars, but some cars hold up better than others. It's the prep they do the metal, and the quality of the metal as well. Cars aren't made to last beyond 6-7 years these days. No ones to pay to fix a car when they can just have a car payment.
