“So the governor will have to be driven around in pink limos from now on?”

Oh no, of course the politicians and “elite” can still drive black.

So Black is Bad??

Just use your left hand and say that you're a Muslim. That way, you'll be protected. Hell, they might even fund your behavior.

Just tell them you are doing a Gobar-Bio-Gas Generator experiment, and you didn't clean you hands yet. You may be able to get some alternative energy dollars with your Clivus Multrum........

They used to have sumptuary laws that declared who could (and could not) wear furs such as ermine, or what colors were set aside for specific groups.

I think the political elite will have black cars. The rest of us? Well ... we should just shut up and pay our taxes.

What will they do next, ask that Mickey Mouse be a lighter color?

When I read, “can't paint suppliers just come up with new, less heat-absorbent dark paints?”, I knew that everyone involved did not take high school science. Everyone knows that dark colors absorb heat radiation.

To really fix the problem, one would need to insulate the interior of the car like one insulates a house. Then the air conditioning systems would not have to cool the heat from a car's hot exterior metal. The problem is, who is going to go through the trouble and expense?

If I couldn't by the color of car I wanted in California, I would go up to Oregon and buy it there. Then, California loses out in the sales tax.

Okay, where is the “That’s Racist!” kid?

I think all California police vehicles should be repainted fuchsia and white ... immediately.

With chartreuse and mauve interiors.

Next black roadways (I prefer concrete myself, anyway.)

Then it will be black fabric. (SCOTUS in WHITE ROBES???) (Maybe the KKK was on to something???)

Then black plastic or black wrought iron or black socks or black shoes or black nylons or black basketballs or black baseball gloves . . . .

THEN it will be that the only thing that’s black is black people.

So, then what? Congress going to tell Africa what???

I HATE SOCIALISM! I am old enough to make my own decisions, thank you very much. And if you’re not able to make your own decisions, I’ll be glad to give you a few of my extra ones.

If you are a California resident, California will get its sales tax when you go to register it there.

CORRECTION:

Congress = California

There is no escape! The people have become the slaves.

If you have cats in the house, you will be granted an exception about your toilet paper orientation, to prevent them from unwinding it.

Don't be so sure. Many states have taxation schemes that hit cars that are bought in another state shortly before being registered in the state in question.
