All,
Seems Quentin Kopp (a Sacramento weenie) is behind a measure
to return California smog laws to the way they were originally written,
with a rolling 25-year window. The first law took effect in 1981, which is
why cars 1966 and newer are tested. The next year it was supposed to be
1967, then 1968, and so on, but bureaucrats being what they are, the 1966
date stuck. He's going to try to change it in '97, effective in '98, meaning
that only cars '73 and newer would be tested, and then within two years, we'd
(TR6 and older) never have to worry again.
Anyone heard this?
