in car.net.land knows of organizations working to resist these laws, or
at least lobby for some moderation in them, please post any information
you have to me.
There is a lobbyist group forming called COVA, supported by professional
restorers, parts & service suppliers/manufacturers, and hobbyists/collectors.
Council of Vehicle Associations
10400 Roberts Rd.
Palos Hills, Illinois 60465
They are collecting data from any and all people involved in any way with
antique/classic cars, to determine how big is the hobby in terms of dollars
spent per year as a part of the Gross National Product, number of people
employed, and also number of miles per year our cars are driven.
They are fighting:
1. crusher programs
2. punitive taxation of old cars
3. zoning and land use ordinances against storing and restoring old cars in the
privacy of your own garage
Can you stomach a $4000 per year per car registration fee and property tax? If
so, then ignore this warning. Such taxation was proposed in California.
