Looks like another steaming pile of horse dung brought to you by our erstwhile legislature. Not a snowballs chance in hell it'll ever happen, IMO.

What about the CHP?

And what about all those Hearse's - want to paint those up in a little more festive color scheme?

It's all about looking like you "care" with this lot. They just want to satisfy the greenies so they can be re-elected.


Although, it might make my truck increase in value if it did happen......

Your car can be any color of black you want, as long as it's white!

HA!

This goes right along with the state proposing a ban on the sale of big screen tv's.
Welcome to the ever increasing Socialist state of Kalifornia, They are just getting a head start on our federal government.

California mulls big screen TV ban, could others follow suit? | Home Cinema Choice

I'm guessing my dark satin green Super Duty is a problem for these idjits.

Maybe they'll pay for a digital desert camo paint job for my truck!

Ohhhhh..... right, Kalifornia is broke.

Just looked at the PDF file about this, they talk about having the windows coated to reflect the suns rays (Mirrored?) can you imagine driving behind all those cars with reflective windows. it is bad enough doing it once in a while behind a polished aluminum rig.

Isn't that pretty much the same as having tinted windows? Maybe I won't have to worry about getting any tickets.
