You will be exempt, cars 1975 or older will be exempt. I however am pretty fvcking pissed at that kunt Sally Lieber, and AHnold. This law will not do what they say it will, commercial vehicles are still exempt, so NAFTA haulers and big rigs have no smog requirements. Iguess they have a stronger lobby than the colector car industry. It is supposed to have a provision for cars registered as "collector" vehicles and 35 years old becoming exempt from visual inspection, but still subject to the sniff test. My bug has fuel injection and no catalytic convertor. Ironically, a 1975 is exempt, and it has exactly the same setup that my '79 has, arbitrary BS :rant:
