Dave,
Hopefully we will get that new law passed "Grandfathering" cars over 25
years old and exempting them from smog checks, so you won't be burdened by
these hassles any more. My understanding is that it was approved in the
State Senate and is on it's way to the Assembly. Correction and or
amplification on this supposition is encouraged from the Tigger Owners!!
BTW, Title on my 1965 Tiger has it listed as a "SUNBE"
