Greetings!

We've got loads of cool shows rolling this weekend!  That's what Southern California does!

But I'm increasingly concerned about our future ability to do so.  The news of CA ratcheting down on ICE.  Plus the Federal government being way over its skies on EVs.  And it sure feels like China is this/close to landing EVs at US ports.

What's more, is that all this is based on the premise of

climate change caused by carbon emissions

.  Yet, that 'science' ain't settled - not by a longshot.  For example 

this recent analysis from Berkeley

.  So... it's impossible to *not* ask, what really is going on here?

All those stories are linked below.  Along with all the awesome SoCal Car Shows.  While you're out enjoying them... maybe have a chat with friends, new and old about what really is going on?  Just a thought.

Keep driving!
