Smog Laws In California: AB 210 Will Exempt Pre-1983 Cars From Emissions Testing!

By Nathan Piscopo

SONNEFELD, GERMANY - SEPTEMBER 23: The dual exhaust pipes on a Volkswagen turbodiesel passenger car are visible below the vehicle on September 23, 2015 in Sonnefeld, Germany. The inner circle of the Volkswagen governing board is meeting today to discuss the current diesel emissions scandal that has already caused the company's stock market value to plummet approximately 30% since Monday. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn has admitted the company installed software into 11 million of its diesel-powered passenger cars that manipulates emissions results under testing circumstances. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) first announced the discovery of the software and is planning to fine Volkswagen up to USD 18 billion.(Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)

California’s Smog Laws Suck

Let’s face it, Calfornia sucks! I live here, so I have every right to say that. Before you get your panties in a bunch and litter me with your opinions of how great this state is, let me squelch your sentiments with an agreeance – California is also one of the greatest states, ever (aside from the smog laws)!

It’s no secret that our perpetual 75° weather and sunny skies are a source of much strife for the majority of the rest of the nation, for various reasons. Some of you poor souls are stuck in snow nearly year-round.

Many of you could cite the political climate, socialistic propensities, concentration of millennialism, and general self-centeredness as a basis for an anti-California sentiment that’s not only well-grounded, it’s also very valid.

I’m not going to argue with you; the state leaves a lot to be desired. But it also has a lot to desire. I constantly find myself on the fence in a pendulum of emotions. One of my biggest gripes about this wonderful state of mine is our progressive mindstate regarding smog laws.
