In case you thought California had become as insane as it was possible to be ...
California - Finally a State Louisiana can make fun of
And I’m sure they’ll want to impose this on other states as well.
Can’t we just use one of those big, red umbrellas like in the commercial?
Racism.
Regulating paint colors is only half the job. They need to mandate proper tire inflation too - the cornerstone of Obama’s energy policy!
Will we be allowed to drive black cars in the winter to the energy used to heat them>
Just think of all the water California could save if they declared flush toilets illegal and forced everyone to poop in the dirt.
Black cars make Mother Nature Cry *ping!*
Auto manufacturers should stop selling cars to California until California abides by US regulations.
Three months without any new vehicles would end the socialism in CA.
And while ordinarily I abhor the initiation of violence in these cases I'm going to really, really enjoy watching it.

My wife and I left the San Francisco Bay Area for Florida a little over six years ago. I am reminded on an almost daily basis what a good decision that was...
Until the people do something about it, this crap will keep becoming more and more restrictive.
“The measure is aimed at reducing carbon-dioxide emissions and improving fuel economy by keeping vehicles cooler on sunny days and decreasing the amount of time drivers use their air conditioners.”
Didn’t the Mythbusters disprove this?
Because of the products my employer manufactures, I have to deal with the insanity of CARB’s Stalinist bureaucracy all the time.
I’m bumping this so I can send it to my boss tonight. I’m sure we’ll all have a good laugh about it tomorrow.
What idiots. I’d like to tell them my silver mini-van (about as reflective as you can get, due to the metallic paint) gets just as hot inside as my black Buick used to. The color of the car matters not.
This makes CA look normal:
Global warmism: “When we talk about drilling, the new thing we have to think about is the Arctic. There is a dangerous irony occurring. We are drilling, burning oil, sending CO2 up into the atmosphere, creating global warming — and it’s melting the Arctic making it possible for people to drill. Now there is this gold rush to start punching oil wells in a place we just desecrated because of global warming. That’s one place we have to get a new moratorium where there hasn’t been one before, because there has always been ice there before.” —Rep. Jay Inslee (D-WA)
What a CROCK!
I will bet a million bucks that I could take a black car, and a white car side by side and bet that as soon as the Sun comes up, that BOTH cars will have their AC units running full tilt at the same time, just as long.
The difference in temperatures inside the vehicle as well as the outside air temperature are what determine the demand for A.C. The color will not effect that enough to matter. The greatest temperature gain/loss on ALL vehicles is through the windshield and glass. They are not insulated. Even a flat black paint job will not cause the A.C. to run any longer than in a chromed one, because they all have insulation in the ceiling, doors and floor coverings and lose or gain heat at the same rate.
What they really need to do is paint the roads and roofs of all buildings white, or have them chromed. I surely would not put it past them to try that, with enough Government money to pay for it.
This is absolute moronic stupidity! And the “studies” done on this, had to have been manipulated.
Understatement of the year, from my personal experience.
