Government mischief that threatens our hobby

In California, an unelected State governmental agency plans to use 
remote sensors and video cameras to measure air polution from 1 million 
vehicles as they enter freeways and navigate roads in Los Angeles, 
Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties.  Owners of the dirtiest 
cars and trucks would receive letters informing them that the government 
would pay to "fix" the problem or scrap their vehicles.  As it is, these 
drivers can already scrap their cars and get a check for $1,000 from the 
government agency.

If you want to know what mischief your state agencies are up to that 
will impact your hobby, take a look at the newsletter produced by SEMA, 
the Specialty Equipment Market Association, Inc. (SEMA) at:

Union bureaucrats in Brussells are doing their utmost to force classic 
cars off the road and into the gruncher.)
