I don't care. I hate California and the idiocy most of it represents.

BTW, here's some news for you. The Article V Convention of States project secured SIX co-sponsors yesterday at the Convention of States Lobby.

The legislatures of 25 states (out of 34 required) are now actively considering Article V resolutions. This is the means by which the states shut down the abuses of power by the federal government. And hopefully, choke off the kinds of idiotic liberalism we're talking about. Taking the country back, so to speak.

CAFE standards really boosted the pickup truck business (where the mileage stds were much lower) .... say, that's what you say you drive isn't it?

CAFE has separate standards for "passenger cars" and "light trucks", despite the majority of "light trucks" actually being used as passenger cars. The market share of "light trucks" grew steadily from 9.7% in 1979 to 47% in 2001 and remained in 50% numbers up to 2011.
