[DeTomaso] so what was the CA car bill?

   Exactly right, this is how it's done, give them an inch and they take 
a mile. And as California goes, other states are soon to follow.
   Right now Calif has the highest gas prices in the nation including 
Alaska and Hawaii.

Just because this   doesn't specifically screw Panteras doesn't mean that it isn't designed to   screw Pantera *owners*.    It's basically doubling the smog-tax and the hassle of owning an older car,   for no good reason other than to increase the pain level for the citizenry.    Mike
