Just spoke to a dealer who specializes in selling these types of vehicles and they stated that the DMV even holds BACK 200 SPCN's for themselves (for their own past and present mock-ups). No one is keeping track of what's happening to these 200 numbers. Again, this comes from a dealer who I will not mention by name - and yes, this would be considered here-say, I have not verified this with any other sources.

Another member contacted me and asked for the names of the people I spoke to at the DMV who told me applications that have been turned down will not be reissued to someone else. I felt bad that I didn't get any names, so I contacted the DMV once again.

This time I got names (and I forwarded them to the person who had asked me). Once again, they stated these numbers will not be reissued.

Then I stated "what if some environmentalists get in line on Jan 2nd and get all the SPCN's - then later, the DMV finds out these people didn't even have a car - what happens? She stated that she understands my point, but there's nothing they can do about it.

If anyone wants to verify this statement, here is the direct phone number to the folks who handle SPCNsat the DMV: 916-657-7654.
