- Thank you James, this is exactly the point that I wanted to get across in
- the first place.
- The govt. does not distinguish between the belchers and the rods/restored
- cars.

- Really though, this is a great point.
- Officials don't care because they have enough money to buy a new car
- and they don't want to *ruin* their reputations buy getting under the
- hood and getting dirty.
-
- Eco-nazi's don't care because they aren't interested in cars and
- they believe cars are causing the dreaded greenhouse effect.
-
- Auto-makers don't care because they want you to buy new cars from them.
-
- Factories don't care because they can earn credits that allow them to
- pollute more.
-
- About the only one besides rodders/restorer's that cares about older cars
- is law enforcement because they can tell the older cars apart. :-)
