UC Davis OHV Survey/Study

I got this in the mail for Suzi that Planegray now has. You could tell they were looking for evaporative emissions data.

All sorts of good stuff here on SBR:

or maybe not... made they want to eliminate red sticker, since it is pointless. CARB actually called me to discuss.

3.
75% of red sticker OHMCs have displacements >150cc
4.

The VIN decoder part is concerning.

It's hard to say if they are trying to advocate the red sticker program isn't even properly working AND they should just do away with it, or go repeal a bunch of green stickers.

I'm still inclined to say the whole thing is a trap.

Why would a university be doing research for carb?
Also, they are asking if you would be willing to support certain things to get more parks and such
