Got it.
California gets slammed a lot for being progressive/liberal (some say
socialist)--which isn't true statewide, BTW--but
pre-1968 (I think) cars are exempted from smog checks, and they weren't
'grandfathered'--the law was changed about 20
years ago.
We also don't have mandatory inspections, which seems like a make work/money
program for the government. I can't recall
an accident I've seen/heard about that was due to mechanical failure; most all
are just plain driver error (incompetence).
