Jay Leno’s star power wasn’t enough to persuade a California legislative committee to pass a measure to allow owners of classic cars like him to be exempted from the state’s rigorous smog-check requirements.

Imagine being rich and famous and this is your political cause. What an effing creep.

    I watched a yt video of some guys in england and they bought some cheap ass old american car for super cheap. It was falling apart and had like a 6l v8 with 110 hp or some crap. They kept making fun of how because it’s a “classic” car, they can drive everywhere with that car, while their little 600cc key car can’t, because laws are fun.

    There will always be these stupid loopholes. Same like you can insure a big ass truck relatively cheap, because of the cabin size and it’s a “work” truck, even tho the car never leaves the road and only transports vapes and edgy stickers.

      Initially, yes, but overtime we should be able to refine our laws to close up the vast majority of harmful loopholes
