CA didn't make ~14 other jurisdictions follow CA's rules. They chose to adopt CA's rules. That's free choice. If the market then decides to go 100% with that choice, that's market forces, not some evil exertion of force from afar. If the federal government and all these car makers work together to remove California's ability to take care of its own air quality, the federal government and these car companies are telling Californians to get cancer, lung disease, and heart disease then die. They're especially telling this to central valley farm workers, who have to deal with the pollution more than anyone. Call it a death panel. I think that's a term popular among certain snowflakes who make up shit and learn their reality from a TV network.

I was referring to your statement regarding car companies that issued a statement that supports a logical one country, one set of regulations position. That type of attitude is why you are the recipient of some animosity.

To be fair, everything seems to cause cancer in California.

Combustion and explosion are different things entirely.

Aluminum Air batteries, when they become available next year, will change the electric car industry more than Musk has.

Depends upon the average temperature where you live. I have x-ice 3s for the WRX and while they're great in the snow, once the temp gets above freezing they start getting very squishy very quickly. We had a lot of days in November / December last year over 50 and raining, and in those conditions the car slid more than on ice/slush. I had Blizzaks for the Fiesta, and while I had no issues in the snow I can't honestly compare the two due to number of driven wheels. That said, I was able to get up hills SUVs were stuck on and they were far more forgiving when the temps got higher.

Oh, just send your tire over here to Bubba. He will put a triple boot in it and add a tube - then you will be good to go - but not too fast.

Would all four tires being below 20psi cause the traction control light and abs light to stay on?
