California Hates Cars, Fines Dealer $34,750 for “unaproved” customizations

“California is a fascist state that hates cars” I was told that when I first moved here.  How could this be?  California is the birthplace of the NHRA, home of SEMA and the heart of the car customization hobby.

Then I read this press release about a California Nisssan dealer being fined $34,750 for “illegally modifying cars”….are you kidding me?  Modified cars and custom bikes are as American as Apple Pie…..but I guess that explains why I was told that California is a fascist state?
