 I used to say the same thing 'till they did pay me to live here! (80k, full reloc and nice signing bonus is hard to turn down!) Anyway - the state itself is nice as far as weather and location, and if I weren't married I'd comment on the ratio of pretty girls to not - but man the people in charge here are all idiots!!!!!!

Goddamn, I had to pay more like $140 for mine, and it's just a basic reader. But it looked like a bargain compared to the fuggers who wanted $70-$90 to pull one code.

This has nothing to do with The People. Call it the Corporations' Republic of California. Remember, this is the legislature that passed the electric utility "deregulation" that cost the state's power customers $45,000,000,000 without a single opposing vote. (And if you wonder why people vote for Ralph Nader, note that both Bush and Gore were all in favor of this deregulation, and only Nader warned against it.) So if you see a law like this passed, don't look for a socialist, look for a lobbyist.

The bottom line is that California is a true wasteland. A monument to all that is possible and all that can go wrong in society. A very sad situation indeed. Too bad it only moves a couple of centimeters into the ocean each year.
The people of the great state of Michigan would never stand for such a law.
I guess the PRK is just not for me.
Cool dome house by the way!

Oh fork you, that's just crass. Despite all corruption and crowding, California is still, in many ways, the greatest of all the states, and is still one of the most naturally blessed chunks of real estate on Earth. (Some others are Hawaii, the Puget Sound area, and New Zealand.) We're still the main people building America's future, both technically and socially, and we're still among the world's most desirable spots to emigrate to. Our politicians may suck, but I can easily name lots of states that are worse off, like New York and Texas and Florida. In reply to:

It remains to be seen whether Californians will stand for it. I'll be mentioning the matter on my site. In reply to:

Thanks. If you've dropped by my site, you may have seen some of my photography. 90% of those pictures are of places in California...

I got a Diagtek scanner and its great. Most scanners just read the engine codes, but this thing read the ABS and airbag on my '99. I got tired of buying the cheep tool, now I just get the stuff the pros buy.

I agree, Californian's should "learn to swim" because soon they'll all be living in Arizona bay...

You know in your heart that Californians are more prosperous, more creative, more spiritually advanced, better looking, and more skillful in bed than Americans are.
I wish $40 code readers had been around when I bought mine... they're simple enough so they should have cost that much all along, but at the time, I couldn't find one under $100.
