I wouldn't worry about this too much. California has a lot of outspoken, far left politicians, but it is also home to many centerist democrats and republicans. Not every Californian lives in San-Francisco and Hollywood. Riverside, San-Bernadino, and Orange County are all center or right leaning districts.
Ideas like this are incredibly stupid, and in California, some things like this have a chance because of the California Air Resources Board (CARB). CARB, like the emissions it tries to regulate, produces a lot of offensive hot air, but it has hard time doing more than that. If CARB stuck to it's guns, California would be full of electric cars by now. Instead, it faced up to reality, and listened to a well funded manufacturer lobby and relaxed it's zero emission standards.
Also, there might be some problems with the commerce clause in the U.S. constitution when a U.S. state bans a particular color of car that is legal in 49 other states.
Incidentally, I'm not sure what god and religion has to do with all of this. Can't one be a godless, homosexual, immoral wacko and drive a black car that gets 10mpg? I'm sure there are more than a few Priuses in church parking lots as well.

Oops, forgot. I live there, too, now.

omfg im rolling on the floor laughing at their idiocy.

CMON now. gotta be better ways to get 'better gas mileage'


Why not just limit HP/weight numbers! HP = amount of gas consumed (basically, not necessarily true but its a good indicator) + weight = how much HP you need to get it moving!

Or just ban cars in general
they can't ...
they want rich people to buy expensive gas suckers cars...

so ....blah blah... emissions emissions emissions only everything, ...
if u want more... more money for car, more money for states

I California. One thing they're great at is providing entertainment and I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life. It's nice to know a government ran by a bunch of jokers

welcome to the new world order, when anti-God liberals are in power, socialism, and, eventually, a full blown dictatorship, quickly follows, because despite all their talk of "tolerance", they are completely INtolerant of anyone who challenges their wacky, immoral, and atheistic/agnostic views
yeah, atheists are the ones who are really working their asses off to keep people from opposing their views.

also, **** you for suggesting that atheism automatically equates immoral behavior.

Once again you prove yourself to be a short sighted dick. Congratulations.

Lastly, way to go finding a method to turn a car thread into a religious debate. Do yourself a favor stick to talking about cars. Any discussion on religion will just leave you with egg on your face.
