  • Why do they only want to ban black cars? Where's the ban on navy blue, hunter green, and crimson red?

    ZOMG! We're all going to have to drive WHITE cars! THAT'S RACIST!!11oneone

        Thanks, but I can't really take full credit for it. The first 3 come from Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism book, which I highly recommend if you haven't read it... as far as Obama... ideological equivalent to Benito Mussolini.

    It's a wonder they didn't also throw in that dirt shows up more readily on a black car, requiring that you wash it more often (which ends up using more water) to keep it clean.

  • ... gotta love how it's some state agency looking to impose itself on the citizens of California. Don't you just love it when the Legislature delegates power to unelected bureaucracies that aren't really accountable to anyone?

  • Your car's AC uses negligible amounts of fuel. My onboard MPG computer shows no difference in mileage at all with or without the AC, wind direction, terrain, etc all have far more of an effect. The California legslature would do far better making California's highway grades shallower; have you seen some of the on-ramps?

    Ot they could suggest that parking lots have trees. Here in Illinois during the summer I always park under a tree if possible; leave it in the sun and it's a furnace inside.

    But anybody who wo

  • Maybe the state should just mandate that all future cars sold in the state be mirror-plated on all surfaces that would normally be painted. That *would* be the way to maximal reflection of the sun's heating rays, of course. It would be a hoot at night as well, reflecting some oncoming pecker's high beams back into his own eyes!

    But I see a potential problem in all of this (and I didn't read the comments so someone else might've already mentioned it): Wouldn't all this reflection of the sun's rays just aggrav
