I lived there until 1989 with my old cars. Remember having to do smog on my 66 mustang and 69 camaro. Both had the original Ca. only smog stuff on the engines too. It was ridiculous then. Even more ridiculous now.
Ignorance of reality is defined again in Ca.

Lived there from 85-94 oh the hoops I jumped through for my junk!

Karenfornia for ya and that's all I can say about it in this forum.

What a waste of beautiful land.

California is a wasteland for rational, intelligent leadership. I wouldn’t live within 500 miles of it for anything. I hope Jay and everyone else out there tired of being led by the incredibly stupid get the hell out and let what’s left rule themselves into oblivion.

I can understand the concern about the possibility of making old poorly tuned non cat cars into daily drivers, no matter where one lives.
Seems like a good acceptable self-restricting compromise for everybody would be simply require there be less than a 10? year old car registered, licensed, and insured to same person same address as the historic car.
Nobody will want to make a daily driver out of an old car when they have an under 10-year-old modern car insured sitting in the driveway with the cost of fuel, etc.
I believe that is often the requirement anyway for collector insurance anyway.
You want to really reduce air pollution incrementally everywhere, do away with fast food window drive thru lines, or at the least add a window surcharge, people need the exercise anyway, then enforce no rubbernecking laws, how, I have no idea.
We could also mandate drafting at anything over 50mph? Oh wait, they already are doing that.

Maybe all the /usuals should move there.

OR, have all the Hollywood 1 percenters stop FLYING everywhere and telling the rest of us how to live.

Just another day in the People's Republic of California.

Commiefornia native, born and raised, glad I escaped!!

Leno should move to Texas. Probably 100 grand in auto registrations the People's Republic would miss getting.

 

[j-c-c-62]

AND, have all the Hollywood 1 percenters stop FLYING everywhere and telling the rest of us how to live.

The people trying to tell me how live are not in California.

 

[F4R/T]

Try being in Illinois! We do what Commiefornia does and add to it! We just got some bending over again by our fat *** governor JB Nuesome..

Well that sucks, but doesn’t surprise me. I’m not doing hoops with a special plate and insurance on my 77 Corvette, that’s trading one set of hoops for another. It will be due for a smog this summer too.

Something that ALL you NON Californians need to know is that those of us that live in California have shown NO signs of supporting the insanity that goes on here. When you bash the state, direct your insults to the government and not the state.
Personally, I don't support the BS that they have been pushing for years ANY MORE than you.
I could name at least 10-12 forum members that live in this state that share the same views as I do and that 98% of this forum does.

I agree, while overall I fit the typical political demographic for a Californian, not sure if saying exactly which party turns this too political or not so use your imagination, I still think I can see common sense and figure out if the leadership has other agendas. I don’t even really want my old car to be smog check exempt, I appreciate the improvement in air quality compared to when I was little. But how about they let me worry about what parts are on the car and they just worry if the part lets me pass the sniffer? Simple example is I cannot see a way that any modern engine swap like an LS would not run cleaner. Can I just put it in and get tested? Nope. Have to get it checked by a ref and certified, common sense would be throw it on the rollers at an reg smog shop every couple of years and if there is a failure I fix the issue. No extra hassle or money for a ref.
I know oddly specific example that illustrates what I would like to do with my vette

That’s why I specifically directed my comments at California Leadership.
