Folks,

Adding to my prior comment: California has a thriving car
customization industry. And no new car manufacturing.

And, California is now spending $30 M to kill all of the custom
shops (since it's pretty hard to work on modern cars vs. old ones,
hence all of the older customs). This will therefore reduce
California's tax base further, and increase its fiscal problems.

And the benefit? People will spend money on new cars...which are
disproportionately not even made in the US.

How does this make sense?

Raise gas taxes, or registration fees on large cars (all, don't
just pick on the old ones) instead.
