California May Ban Blacks

[RockX]

The California legislature is considering regulating the color of cars and reflectivity of paint to reduce the energy requirements to cool them. A presentation on the proposed legislation by the California Air Resources Board is below.

The problem isn’t the color per se, but the reflectivity of the paint overall. And dark colors just don’t reflect well, so they are likely out. “Jet black remains an issue,” says the report.

Anyone who’s ever entered a very hot car knows that it can be cooled down immediately by driving a few feet with the windows open, effectively neutralizing any color-caused heat issues before engaging the air conditioner. But whatever, black is evil.

The new regulations would be phased in beginning in 2012, so if you want that black car, you better buy it soon. More on Autoblog and CrunchGear.

And you thought that black Toyota Pious you bought made you such a good person. Think again, you tree hating energy slob. Luckily, black websites are still ok, even though they, too, use more energy.

LOL

Those racist liberals in California, when will Sharpton & Jackson start a protest of this.

never lived in FL in the summer with a black car huh?

Simple physics dude.

Nope, live next to the beach in California with normal mild temperatures all year round. But I guess the GW nuts got to have something to complain about.

Black cars will get slightly less mileage than a light colored one in a hot climate.

On the other hand the heat to heat in the winter costs little extra as the engine has too much heat anyway.

Live next to the beach in CA? That explains a lot.

So when are they planning on painting all the roads?

Hmm, a road goes somewhere but never moves.
Well no faster than many thousands of miles an hour anyway.

Mileage?

Figures that CA would want white roads though. Prettier, but keeping them clean...

"Black websites are still ok"

Are you saying that's it's ok for any government to arbitrarily determine which color vehicles you can and cannot purchase or drive ? or just providing commentary on the particular thermal retention properties of black cars?

If it's a case of the former, you might want to think that one through a bit further and imagine what kind of precedant it sets, if it's the later well then it's sorta stating the obvious, no ?

As far as the OPs assertion of:
"Those racist liberals in California, when will Sharpton & Jackson start a protest of this. "

I fail to see what black automobiles have to do with racism not to mention liberals aren't in charge of the State Government of California (lefties maybe liberals definitely not), if they were nonsense legislation like this wouldn't even be considered let alone talked about.

I actually thought his post was pretty funny. Then again my friends and I
joke with each other like that so it is normal. However I do understand how
joking with friends and strangers is two different things.

Fords have to roll. Generally by being pushed or towed

You have to learn how to take USC's posts. Don't take him seriously on... oh... 102% of his posts. But, believe me, USC is one of the most entertaining posters on the site.

Cool, thanks for the info. I wasn't trying to demean uscitizen for his/her post or anything just attempting to get clarification on his/her intent.

And I was just passing on the clarification.

USC and I don't always agree on things, but... well, wait, I am never sure whether or not he is serious about anything, so I don't know whether we agree or not! /shrug

Well I'm not gonna dispute your assertion 'cause frankly your avatar scares me (since I assume the LION represents you in that image and I'm certainly not applying for the job as the lamb)

Let not my avatar scare you.

Funny, I have never considered the avatar like that. No, neither the lion nor the lamb represent me.

I chose the avatar because I was thinking of the Lion of Judah aka Jesus Christ and he as the "Lamb of God". I had thought that this verse:

Isaiah 11:6
The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them.

was "the lion will lie with the lamb", but discovered that lion was actually wolf in the verse, but then since Jesus is called the Lion of Judah AND the Lamb of God, it seemed to fit.

So, I am neither lion nor lamb, but, rather Jesus Christ is both Lion and Lamb and I am nothing but a disciple of Christ.

Democrats dictate what color car you may own and the boneheads will make excuses why its perfectly ok...even Constitutional I'll bet .....

How fuckin' pathetic the brain-washed Liberal Dim is...

ROFLMAO ! priceless ! thanks for the really good humor (not laughing at you but with you), I needed a good laugh

Dim sung say you must drive purple car from now hencefoth.. not only as penance for your many affronts to the left wing cause but also because you have name Bravo which in leftwing speak means "he who mocks us" .....
