Jay,
Unfortunatley, limiting the miles driven on "classics" may be the
compromise that you pay in order enjoy your smog excemption.
If everybody drove these cars everyday to work, then the environMENTAL
do-gooders would surely have their way with your wallet, or your car.
After all, these cars ARE very dirty. Sometimes hundreds of times more
than a contemporary car in good repair.
