Michael. Joe, John, and others, I am very sad to report that the Governator of California has signed legislation to repeal the 30 year rollover rule. 1975 and earlier cars are the only ones exempt now. 1976 and later will have to go to the biennial emissions inspections. Little Arnie, we are so disappointed in you. BenT http://members.aol.com/bentbtstr8/myhomepage/index.html
