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.

Why? What is really the problem? The pollution is negligible to the point that it's not even worth discussing.

They should be driven. It's a bit counterintuitive, but they'll last longer if they're driven. What happens is that when parts break, they get fixed, and that means there's a market available for spare parts. You can daily drive a Model-T Ford today because they're still common enough to have a parts market.

    Huff on a tailpipe for a few minutes then come back to tell me how insignificant it is. ICE needs to die.

    Yes, what of it? ICE lawn mowers are a bigger source of pollution than a handful of people running around in classic cars a few sundays per summer.

    There is no problem that needs to be solved here.
