Good day, CARB Chair and Board,

Thank you for your service in trying to clean the air in
California. 

I was driving the other day and was passed by a supped up 1960s
pickup truck. It left me choking trying to breathe as it did for
all the people behind it. The driver of the pickup wasn't impacted
by his exhaust, only the people behind him were. This one vehicle
was polluting the equivalent of likely 1,000 modern vehicles. I am
a car guy and appreciate old vehicles. Saying that, old classic
vehicles, if driven on the roads need to meet modern emissions
standards or by converted to electric. What is CARB doing to
address these gross polluters? 

One of my old neighbors had 9 vehicles parked in their driveway and
on the street. None have been smog checked. Most had Nevada license
plates. They all are expired. Some for decades. Some had no plates.
One has a California plate but no tag. The vehicles are driven
daily or weekly. Obviously, laws aren't being enforced and people
living and working in California are driving non-smog checked
vehicles. How is CARB addressing this? Is there a way to report
these non-smog checked vehicles? If so, please share it. 

Please see attached photos of some of the vehicles and address that
they park at or by.

Thank you,
John Weber
