A fellow antique vehicle friend sent me this article. I hate to be too paranoid, but it doesn't look like a good thing for anyone in California with a vehicle older than 1978. Anyone on here get one of the surveys, or heard anything more about it?

It's ironic that the California Air Resource Board is called the CARB.
Sounds like a way for California to create even more systemic classism through arbitrary policies that won't actually do anyone any good.
Can you imagine having pollution-free zones in cities where ONLY the wealthy that are capable of owning expensive electric cars can drive unrestricted? |

It sounds like that is what they are trying to create. |

What I'd like to see is a study of manufacture per vehicle carbon emissions from getting raw material collection to point of sale compared with that same info of every model sold in usa pre 1978. I wager it will never be seen.
With that base info, discussion of O emission vehicles vs antique autos might be interesting.
How long will it take a Tesla to be O emission vs my '59 beetle with documented milage and gas use since purchase? When the Tesla is of equal age, how many battery packs will it have gone thru?
O emission zone, they gonna hand out rebreather devices to scrub my personal carbon emissions?
I say call parts of the desert and uninhabited mountains O emission zones and let the tourist board deal with the fallout. |
