I'm sure the air in the L.A. basin isn't as clean as it was pre-industrial age. Even Minnesota has had air quality alerts- this in the age of strict pollution controls. Mark me down as highly suspicious of Dave's clean air claim.

I agree with Dave that crash standards are too onerous, basically legislating lots of really neat vehicles right off our roads, and the remaining ones are saddled with excessive bulk, cost, and complexity.
