Failed smog test fuel tank not holding vacum

Looking at it 40 years later, most people would say it turned out very well, though the transition was far from smooth (remember how 1979 cars drove?). One can now see the mountains from Huntington Beach many days, when even in the 1990's you were lucky to see them from San Gabriel. Unleaded gas was also good because little tykes didn't lose 10 IQ points from lead in the brain. Cars today are both powerful and economical. It isn't always equitable in CA. SF Bay cars have less stringent regs than us in the Central Valley, yet much of our pollution blows over from there. My biggest gripe is classic car owners who insist on putting in mega-thumper cams that cause their cars to idle like crap and pour out noxious fumes, just because they can. They keep it up and rules will come down to impact all of us.
