Jay Leno spent the day at the CA Capitol, pushing to exempt classic cars from smog checks. I asked him why —with everything else going on— he’s using his influence on this. “I don’t want the Hot Rod business, or mechanical business, to leave the way the film business did..” https://t.co/mGthNSGw1h

US SENATORS GRASSLEY AND CANTWELL INTRODUCE LEGISLATION TO REQUIRE CONGRESS TO APPROVE ALL NEW TARIFFS WITHIN 60 DAYS, STATEMENT SAYS
