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.

Nothing against strict smog regulations. But it's wildly hypocritical that the government can be all hardass about it yet can't even manage to finish building ONE FUCKING TRAIN LINE.

But you see some tech facist said that a underground tunnels for cars is the better more futuristic way to go

And he's not wrong.

Oh wait. Yes he is. How is ANYBODY listening to this guy?

Oh right. Money.

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie

No he is right underground tunnels with cars are wildly better. Just because you dislike Musk doesn't mean everything he says is wrong.

Wait what he meant actual fucking cars... What do you mean "Like in Vegas" whomst the fuck does that... It only makes sense when you connect them together as subway cars... Yes he is fucking stupid.

The government also doesn't use any emissions restrictions on their own military vehicles and many other government vehicles. They're more reliable without it.
