Re: [Amc-list] California Smog Bill

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Is indeed good news, for some reason the people in charge of this stuff look to california like it is the only sentient being on emmisions.
    Whatever Ca does the other emissions areas do one at a time over the next few years. It's like they don't know what to do and can't figure it out for themselves, so they just do as California does!
    I to like the no inspection we have here. Antiques have none at all, DD's have anual safety inspections though.
