California: Is your kit car registered as a 1960 vintage vehicle?

[RedCSX1]

Like others here on this forum that live in California, when I went through the SB100 process I had no problem paying the taxes the state figured I owed on the cost of my Cobra. I stood in line and had to deal with the inefficient process that the state has. As others have already pointed out some things need to change to improve this process.

1. Train DMV employee's so they clearly understand the requirements of this law. I can not tell you the frustration I and others had dealing with the DMV employees who knew less about the law than we did.

2. Improve the way the numbers are obtained. Every DMV location has to call in to one number and get a busy signal instead of getting a number for the person waiting at the counter after he or she has already waited hours in line! Why not develop a computer program that assigns the number after the required information is entered?

3. Increase the number of from 500 to 3000 or higher. Keep in mind that Cobra and Cobra replica's are not the only vehicles now required to be registered under SB100. The positives would be greater compliance and more tax dollars for California that needs the funding because liberals have been allowed to waist the money on pork for years.

4. As stated already the amount of emissions that these cars put out is insignificant. Since my car was registered in 2005 I have put less than 2500 miles on it. Most mileage occurs on the weekends when traffic is less heavy compared to weekdays. I am certain that other owners in the state use there Cobra's in a similar manner.

5. There needs to be more smog certification sites. When I went thought the process there was only one in the Fresno area that was certified by the State for vehicles going through the SB100 process. As far as I know this has not changed.
