I get a real kick out of people saying this is a conspiracy to get
everyone to buy a new car. Read that on a bunch of other blogs today.
Maybe that's an outcome, but to me it sounds like CA  just wants cars
to work correctly (within prescribed tolerances).  If it fails a
pressure test  it's because gas fumes can get out -- when  they were
clearly designed to be retained - right? So the real deal is that CA
is asking people to maintain their cars?! Doesn't sounds like a lot
to expect.


What amazes me is that friends in CA say that no safety inspection is
required -- just pass emissions and you're fine. In VA they'll fail
you for torn boots or worn bushings or a pit in the windshield.
