this is mostly a subject that should be the topic of another thread-- because of the political nature of such issues; but i will say that CARB is not gathering intel on classics and their use. it's been discussed here on this board and disproved.
to think that CARB is running some type of surveillance state on classics is edging toward tinfoil territory. we make up *maybe* 1% of the cars on the road in california. they care wayyyy more about big trucks and diesel than anything else.
