Mahler9th: One of the problems with no rolling exemption is smog parts on older cars are almost impossible to find and are priced to be made of obtainium. In many cases, newer more modern fuel systems and exhaust can yield better mpg and emissions but are not legal.
The poor schmuck with a 1976 in CA is screwed but you posted the 'I got mine" and expressed no empathy for for your fellow Pelican with his plight. It may not be how you meant it but it sure comes off that way.
Edit: I remember something about the Governator and his motivation for cleaner air. Problem: a Classic 40 year old Porsche that is kept in meticulous condition probably drives a fraction of the miles than a 15-20 year old rust bucket pickup truck that has never been tuned up. Which one does more polluting considering condition and miles?
