...is car control. thought you guys would get a kick out of this...my car registration is due and it was the on year of the every other year smog test requirement. But there is a new part of the test this year. They take your gas cap off and place on to a high tech vacuum coupling device (by the way there are about 10 different adapters depending on the gas cap type) and check with a computer driven device to make sure that your cap gas seal meets state specifications... Gotta luv it here... Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi?

Mike, If you run a tank of high-test through the engine and test with hi-test gasoline, you have a much lower chance of flunking the NOX test. jim if you're too busy to hunt,you're too busy. | |||

Application to register the vehicle shall be made within 20 days after gainful employment is accepted in this state or residency is established in this state. (b) A nonresident owner of a vehicle, otherwise exempt from registration pursuant to this section or Section 6700.2, may operate or permit operation of the vehicle in this state without registering the vehicle in this state if the vehicle is registered in the place of residence of the owner and displays upon it valid license plates issued by that place. This exemption does not apply if the nonresident owner rents, leases, lends, or otherwise furnishes the vehicle to a California resident for regular use on the highways of this state, as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 4000.4.

Put California plates on your vehicle and live in another state and see how fast they pop you so they can get the registration fees. All states do this, some more actively than others, but they all want those registration/licensing fees each year. | |||

You're equating vehicle registration and/or regulations with gun control? Must be some kind of governmental plot to force us to register firearms.

In 89 the boy took my '72 T bird to Pismo Beach on CO tags, I kept sending the renewal stickers each year. He got by with it til sometime in the 3rd or 4th year when he got mouthy to the CP after getting pulled over for running it 120 with booze on his breath. Didn't take them long to send certified letters to me about it. The whole idea of him taking it out there in first place was to sell it. He finally did. I used to truck all over the state. We'd sit in terminals and go over each others maps marking where the scales and inspection pits were. In 6 yrs, I never once got pulled into one of those pits just because of the other truckers advice. George "Gun Control is NOT about Guns' "It's about Control!!" Join the NRA today!"

5 years ago there was a big thing about "Ozone action days" in my county in Ohio, I filed a complaint about the Air National Gaurd doing touch and go practice on these days. They no longer do it on these days, and since then we have only had 1 Ozone action day! can you imagine? There was also talk about manditory vehicle inspection for smog, I threatened the instigating Officials with a class action law suite, to shut down the Air Port, The rail system and questioned about how many dollars the Ohio Turnpike commission would pay in. Have heard no more about it. Thats kind of strange don't you think? Mike "An armed man is a citizen, an unarmed man is a slave", Ceasar | |||

There's a little key for ya right there! Put your vehicle in the name of a corporation, or company.. and when a cop pulls you over to give you crap about it, state it is a company vehicle... I have been doing this since 1980.... None of my vehicles are in my name, they are "company vehicles"....no one says the company has to be doing business 24 hours a day, 7 days a week... or even does enough to have to file taxes each year.... It goes a long way in shutting up a cop, who has an attitude problem and is just trying to get his monthly ticket quota in..... | |||
