The more times Californian Lawmaker's open their mouths, the more I ant them to leave Caslifornia for good. Under a new innitiative they want to BAN dark colored cars because "the paints used to make them are not as 'green' as cars with lighter colored paints."

I believe the reasoning given is because cars with darker coloured paint heat up in the sun more, so people use their A/C more, which uses more gas.

Yeah, here's the story here: PistonHeads Headlines

Jet-black automotive paintjobs could be regulated out of existence in the US if proposals under consideration by the California Air Resources Board are followed through.

Apparently the CARB is getting hot under the collar about the extra carbon being consumed by California residents turning-up the air-con to cool their sun-drenched black cars. The Board has already set new rules in place that will force manufacturers to increase the solar reflectiveness of future paint coatings, as well as improve the thermal efficiency of automotive glazing. It believes more stringent rules in this area could save nearly a million tons of CO2 per year by 2020.

However, according to Autoblog in the US, paint companies are struggling to make a decent black finish that meets the forthcoming requirements for 20% solar reflectivity by 2016 – the best attempts so far being a sort of sludgy brown.

Autoblog has noted the possibility that this story is an elaborate – if early - April Fool, but CARB has produced a 36-page treatise on the subject. As we know, where California leads in the field of ‘cleaning-up’ the automotive sector, others tend to follow. Interested parties can read all about the CARB ‘cool cars’ program here.

Not too much of a problem in the North East of England!

Hi Rev. *


*Yes we're going to assume all new people to be Reveille until proven otherwise.

You know, I was thinking exactly the same .

Anyways, Archon, incase you decided to stay, don't mind the jabs, we're all really friendly here... really...

Umm, okay. How about some picture proof. I have no problem with that.

I bet the dog is actually Reveille...and Fallen Archon is hearing him talk even now..."Post on ENWorld- Satan commands it!"

Fallen Archon = Son of Reveille?

OK, maybe not.

Welcome to the boards AND the Hive, Fallen Archon.

*sigh*

We've been doing a whole-house renovation since the first week of November. We're basically finished- only a few touch-ups remain to be done.

We're about 2-4 days away from being able to clear out the garage of all the stuff we moved out of the house so the work could get done, so all of our cars are outside.
