Gentlemen,

I am writing to oppose Assembly Bill 118, Enhanced Fleet
modernization Program (Car Scrap)

 

As owner of 2 very valuable pre 76 collector cars, I oppose any
changes to do with the emission program requirements for these
cars. 

 

These collector cars are representative of a strong car Collector
hobby Industry in California, which contributes significantly to
the state’s tax revenues and employs a significant number of people
in manufacturing (parts) sales (mail order and across counter
specialty car parts stores) and service (car restoration shops).  

 

It also provides enormous enjoyment for car people like me, who by
the very nature of the older cars are frequently senior citizens.
Like most collectors, my hobby cars are only driven on the weekends
for short distances or specialty car events, and operate under the
limitations of collector car insurance. Just like most of us, for
every day driving I use my modern car. 

 

Lastly, with the grim state that California’s budget is currently
in, the last thing we need is another program to spend more of the
taxpayer’s money, or take more money out of California school
programs to pay for this limited benefit program. Older clunker
cars will die out all by themselves. They do not need this
(proposed AB118) expensive help to do so just a few months or years
earlier.

 

Thank you for your consideration,
