I am thinking that this is just junk mail, a blanket mailing to owners of older cars, taken directly from DMV records or some other public database. There was talk of a "cash for junkers" program in Calif, did that come to be? Is there a bounty for someone who turns in an older car? This sure sounds more like a blind fishing expedition than a real complaint.
Please scan the letter and post it.
Cheers,

Easy way to get rid of that puff of smoke the treehuggers are complaining about...
Hot Rod Speed & Custom's Flame Thrower Installation Kit includes ignition coils, coil brackets, coil wires & a pair of spark plug bungs. Installation kit requires other modifications or components to complete a flame thrower system.
6' flames out the exhuast should get them to back off.

They're all cracked up about it.
So when you're using an activated charcoal filter like the carbon canister, you're not supposed to be burning the coal.
Ooops.
Is it baking powder or baking soda you're supposed to throw into a fire again?

I agree that it may be junk mail just because it's and 80's car. Rather insulting that they assume it's polluting the environment. If we all pulled our pants down on this board and farted at the same time, it would be 100 times more polluting than all of our 928s combined, including the race cars. Just sayin'...

CARB has had ways to report smoking cars for some time now http://www.arb.ca.gov/enf/complaints/smoke.htm . I do agree it was probably just some smug, whiney douchebag turning in the report though.

I would say one thing... Do you have any idea the environmental impact producing a new car has? How about driving the cars we have already spent millions of dollars in research, development and production on, instead of needing to upgrade to the newest model every other year so our neighbors think we are environmentally friendly?... I am all for saving the environment, but no one ever seems to see the whole picture they just look at the emissions that exit the tail pipe.
