Default Note this falsehood contained within the article

[Paraphrased] "These older cars emit 155 times the pollution of 2004 models".

This is BS since many if not most of these cars are now considered collectible classics and are not likely to be daily drivers. The (I believe intentional] "error" is in assuming the miles driven are the same. My 1974 Scout 2 (4 x 4) was such a vehicle when we lived in Cali.. it was NOT my daily driver and saw no more than 2- 3 k miles per year. The jerks required me to smog it regardless. It passed but was costly and a waste of time and energy. I still have the Scout, [almost fully restored now and it's an on-going project] where we live there are NO smog checks. We will never return to Commiefornia for this and sundry other good causes.
