California sucks... I don't know why ANYBODY would want to live there. If they are so crazy about trying to preserve their precious smog-infested atmosphere, then why in the HELL are they making it a PENALTY to own a newer, presumably more-efficient and less-polluting car????
California and all of the people that live out there need to pull their heads out of their asses and remove all of their stupid elected officials from office and get people in there that know how to run a government. With how high taxes and all the other fees are out there, WHY are they having budget problems?? This is not meant to offend anybody that lives in California, but come on -- get out of the dream land and into reality. Most of my mom's family lives in California, and I can't understand why they are out there. Yeah, it's a nice place to visit, been there MANY times myself, but damn, it's just not worth the headaches and health issues.
