LOL! This is why California is……well, you know what it is.

I can’t wait to see what Cali & Al Gore + the Hollywood gang are gonna do next to “stop global warming”

It’s either gonna be:
1. Sue the people for driving cars
2. Mandate everyone get a Prius

California loves rainbows, what a stupid useless state that is. They all love the smell of their own farts and live stale meaningless lives.

The politicians want it both ways… they fight like cats and dogs to get the factories in their state and in the next breath become anti-industry. So which is it?

And what do these politicians use to get to work everyday may I ask?? CARS!!!! What a bunch of losers!

Must not have made it to the 9th Circuit Court. Those moronic agenda-ridden communist fahhhggots would take any chance possible to vote against industry no matter what.

Wish Osama would target the 9th Circuit. Bush would call off the war tomorrow.

The lawsuit makes no sense because everyone who buys the cars are just as guilty. Gm, or honda etc.

This is just political grandstanding. Put in a lawsuit that you know will get thrown out to impress a particular voter block. Conservatives have used it for years against abortion wars, knowing 99% of these get tossed on appeal.

Opps. Edit out ‘wars’ above…

California sucks. They’re also the only state to have banned .50 caliber rifles, because they are clueless politicians who know nothing about guns.

Vseries – they are simply the most far-left state in the Union. And unfortunately the disease that is California is spreading out to the rest of the country.

Ban guns
Raise taxes
Lose the war
Global warming
hollywood morals

We can still get .50 guns in Cali… You can cut the jelousy in here with a knife. Most people who hate Cali I guess never stepped foot in Cali. It’s not that hard to pass a smog test here you just need to know the right people =) Id rather live here then anywhere else the weather rocks and the girls are hot… Not to mention you actually see the cars you guys only read about on the road.

Yes the lawsuit was gay and pointless, kinda like a Democrat…

rompn4x,
California the state might be a beautiful place, but California the government is the most sue happy, political grandstanding, hypocritical, ass backwards, entity in the United States (perhaps the federal gov’t is worse, but that’s another argument). The asinine laws, regulations, and rules that your elected officials come up with are at best off-center and at worse borderline insane. Lawsuits like this one only help in proving my point. I’ve never set foot in California and as a car loving individual I never will (unless I have to because of travel for work).

stupid californians… then again these are the same people who voted for the terminator… twice.

rompn4x – yea, Kenny cleared that up. The government is the problem there, definitely not the chicks or the wheather which are both PERFECT.

I live in California on the coast. Sure the weather is pretty much the best anywhere in the country but I’m a HUGE automotive fan so it just overrides everything else. They’ve been trying to make a rule that would ban any extent of car modification, even aftermarket mufflers. If your car looks or sounds modified it would get impounded. I even heard a story (not sure if it’s true) about two teens in southern Cali that were caught street racing and got their cars crushed because of it… without even going through trial first! The police officers apparently were given the authority to decide for themselves whether or not to crush the cars. I understand that street racing is bad but that punishment seems a bit much.
There is also a 500 wheel hp limit for non-stock vehicles.

And in other news, California has announced a new lawsuit against gun manufacturers Remington, Smith & Wesson, Savage and Winchester. The lawsuit charges all employees, owners, and affiliates of these companies with the first degree murder of every firearm victim in California since the state was added to the Union in 1850. If accepted, this would give an approximately 1,483,175 year sentence to each person indicted. The bodies of employees already deceased would be exhumed and used to make a new environmental ecosystem coral reef off of Catalina Island.

Rumor also has it that the bill proposed by radical feminists, which charges every man with a child (or any other provable heterosexual relationship) guilty of rape has found favor in the Californian legislature. More details to come…

What a range of expressions: from accusing California and Californians to be commies and blaming them for election of Governator. Arnold-the-muscle man albeit related by injection to Kennedys is not a commie by any stretch of imagination. If anything his daddy was polizei during WWII hunting Jews.

The schmack who introduced this suit is a product of political activism of the left and is on state payroll, but let face it which state has an intelligent judiciary? Those lawyers who graduate from decent law schools and join law firms make 165-200K salary first year in NYC and probably in the same neighborhood in LA and SF. The putz-in-charge after 20 years in office makes maybe 120K, does not aware of cannons of law and basically a moron on public payroll. Please look at judiciary make up of your state and let the rest know that it is not the same schmack (perhaps minus California tan).

There is nothing more wrong with California then any other state, perhaps only the fact that it is being adjourned to Mexico. But after all it WAS Mexico 160 years ago. Here is the joke: after this suit is tossed out and judge explained to the putz that you can’t assign global damages for crimes or misdemeanor that are not proven to be committed in the first place, in some other state legal eagle will repeat the same exercise.

BTW in my humble opinion it the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that is the most communist state after Cubaand slightly ahead of Venezuela.

Ricardohead, x2 on the chicks comment. In the pre-Katrina days, New Orleans was a ****ing hotbed of insanely hot pussy. And I’m not talking bimbo tourists in the French Quarter – I went to some parties in the suburbs there and it was just unreal.

The other place with nice looking girls is Miami. NYC, I wasn’t so impressed the last time I went, although I lay low and didn’t go out too much.

In any case, this lawsuit is ridiculous because it’s built on false pretenses to begin with. To launch a suit like this, global warming has to be verified as a true entitiy beyond a shadow of a doubt, then cars have to be accepted as the de facto cause. Too many “ifs” here.

BTW Autonut – fresh-out lawyers in NYC don’t start at 160-200k a year. That’s bull****. I know plenty of them, the most recent from Harvard law; they article at around 70k and start at 90-95k. They cap out in the 150-160 range, then have to make partner or stay there forever.

Actually they do. In most of top 20 firms it is 165 and Wechtell paid over 200K to someone I know. Those salaries are for top 10% of top 20 schools and Fordham( because they are local school albeit not top 20). Those coming out of Brooklyn law or Cardoza start at whatever. Out of Harvard with decent ranking they should start well. Then again, Clintons went to Yale, and although Bill was a fine scholar his wife went to search for Bill or some other Dick, so her ranking was good enough for Arkansas.

Airplanes pollute, by the ton.

Hang a catalytic converter off each wing.

Cruise ships and freighters burn the nastiest oil on the planet.

Stick giant converters up the smokestack.

Just ban them all and let me breath pure air again.

Again, the fact that the lawsuit included Honda shows that they had no intelligence. Honda is the MOST efficient automaker on the planet and, despite what Toyota’s PR people say, the GREENEST automaker as well.

Only in America.

Jeff you are absolutely correct. According to CA own studies the air quality of exhaust from Honda PZEV vehicles is better then intake. California would be advised to run Honda engines in downtown LA to clean up the smog.

The politicians in California will not be happy until we all live in villages and conform to their “utopia”. Why? because that is what uncle Joseph Stalin ordered up to keep his thumb on the population.

autonut, and not Deanster, is right about law grad salaries.

I’ve never lived in Cali, but I’ve visited the Bay area several times and I love visiting. Few things beat driving a convertible through Napa on a sunny day. I even saw a Ferrari 575, just as an added bonus (although I still HATE people who can afford Ferraris). So say what you will about their politics, but this lawsuit was the most ridiculous piece of crap from the get-go. It was a political move, and I wonder how many real Californians supported it, especially when they consider that any judgment against the car companies would have only guaranteed that Californians (and probably everyone else, for that matter) were going to pay more for their cars.

Yes, because Scarface is an authority on lawyers’ salaries. When do you have time to learn about the subject, between tossing strangers’ salads and sucking bellend in some dirty alley for 5 bucks?

well california is a democratic liberal hotbed, dont worry hillary and her commie minions will make the other 49 states just the same.

As part of this lawsuit, I’d like to see them prove global warming is caused by man. If the politicians say it’s true, it must be.

R-Head: I lived in cali (I even moved back) a good portion of my like.

I say export all the granola heads to kansas and Nebraska, and relocate everyone from those two states (hell, and wisconsin) and It’d be back to the Golden State.

**** like this makes me wish i’d stayed in Nebraska.

Thank god.

This Attorney General Bill Lockyer should be taken out back and shot! We don’t need scum like these wasting our time and money with ridiculous lawsuits.

WANT TO SEE SOME REAL CARS COME TO THE WOODWARD DREAM CRUISE HERE IN MICHIGAN!

California knows how to party.

One article in an auto news website have you all badmouthing about California. I bet NONE of you EVER read the complaint and answer, perhaps not even the pubilshed court opinion, and you all act like you know the case as well as the litigators. It’s true, American are not interested in details. Read between the lines, lemmings!

R-head: I need to bring up one of your earlier claims.

“Chicks? AZ and TX have Cal beat any day of the week.”

I disagree, although I will say it’s slowed down for the days of my youth, when I couldn’t cross the street without tripping over a gorgeous slut.

But I’ll put my alma matter up against any school in the nation for hot student body

MICHIGAN OWNS CALIFORNIA!

AT LEAST YOU DONT HAVE TO WEAR A MASK TO COVER YOUR MOUTH HERE IN MICHIGAN BECAUSE WE HAVE NO SMOG, DUE TO MICHIGAN BEING 50 % FOREST( TREES CLEAN THE AIR.

MANY PEOPLE ARE DYING FROM THE SMOG IN CALI.

Rose bowl?

I’m a Big 10 fan, but damn, this is a lean year, FCsuck.

I was born in Flint, and prefer cali. Except for the granola-heads and smog

MICHIGAN STATE OWNS USC! MADNESS? THIS IS SPARTA!

Foreign: truth be told, if the brain-dead lemmings and the biased coaches only used this season as a measurement, Michigan State would be #1. But they don’t.

And the SEC can Burn in Hell!

THEY GET CAUGHT UP DOING THE WRONG THING….THIS WILL LEAD THEM TO POSITIVE ACTS.
