    Your thoughts, please, on if, and when, any of our
    400 series cars will ever become smog exempt as classics in Kalifornia. Thanks. Jq.

    No.


    Just install $500 worth of modern technology cats, and it will run beautifully.

    Unless California politics take a complete reversal I don't see it happening.

    The smog zealots, for better or worse are pretty well entrenched in Sacramento. Between class envy (that hate special interest car guys), a desire to return air quality to the days of the gold rush (not a totally bad thing), and a real genuine desire to see all old gas burning evil cars off the road I see it getting worse, not better.

    Remember, these are the idiots that classify electric cars as zero pollution. Do they know where our scarce electricity comes from?? Or where the toxic batteries go to??

    Greenism is a ratchet: it only turns in one direction. The fact that a car that's driven only a few hundred or a few thousand miles per year will emit less HC, CO, and NOx than a car that's 10 times cleaner, but which rolls up 15 times as many miles, is irrelevant. As with all religious faiths, concrete results in the material world are secondary. Living according to the moral standards of the faith is what's important. It's funny how the hot topic of the day is a class of low caliber rifles featuring pistol grips and ammo clips -- when *all* rifles were responsible for just 323 of the 8,583 gun homicides in 2011 -- at the same time as President Obama is praised for his mandate of a 55 mpg motor vehicle fleet, a regulation which will cause at least 3,000 additional highway deaths per year.
