Sb 708

[Mark Husar]

I just got back from the Carmichael D.M.V.
I am waiting to complete the registration of my cobra until the dust clears and I know where we as an organization of car lovers stand.
My main concern is as follows:
1. If I complete the registration with my sb1578 exemption will this carry forward to the next buyer who may purchase my car?
DMV answer: We don't know
2. If I complete the registration of my cobra and the 708 is enacted, will I have to smog my car in two years to the current standards?
DMV answer: We can't say.
3. Can I have all my money (close to 2 grand) back and I will change my residency to my home in Arizona or Portland and I will register my car there?
DMV answer: NO! You forfeit all monies paid thus far.

As you can tell... as I see it the writing is on the wall for me. There is to much gray area here to make me comfortable losing my Texas title to the car (1966 ford Comp Car) to get the 2001 title here in Calif. The difference is the registration costs and insurance cost of a 1966 vs. a 2001 automobile and the fact that I may not be able to pass smog in a few years.
I am going to give it some time and research before I move but I see it coming soon.
