If this is serious, it is just another reason to avoid sunny California.

"California to reduce carbon emissions by... banning black cars?!In a move that will likely get California's consumers in a huff, impending legislation may soon restrict the paint color options for Golden State residents looking for their next new vehicle. The specific colors that are currently on the chopping block are all dark hues, with the worst offender seemingly the most innocuous color you could think of: Black. What could California possibly have against these colors, you ask? Apparently, the California Air Resources Board figures that the climate control systems of dark colored cars need to work harder than their lighter siblings ? especially after sitting in the sun for a few hours."

I can't believe that this is serious. Besides being totally socialist, this will really hurt the carwash industy given how much dark cars need to be washed. Suppose we should call it the People's Republic of California.
Leave it to the politicians to come up with another stupid idea.

I don't think there are any pills to cure that I'm afraid...Although a possible short term cure for that could be a days shopping for her on your account
