Hey I like K-Ghia's too. I would like a 'Duesy' more.

>A flat-out ban on pre-73 cars is a poor law.
Which 'bill' is this?
I was refering to the smog-check ban for pre-1973 vehicles, a blanket
exemption that allows a ' gross polutter same exemption as a 'tuned
classics '.
------------------
>Consider the fact that these classic cars are often better tuned than the

True, however certain vehicles should be 'shown' but not driven.
------------------
>Also, the real number of pre-73 cars is miniscule.
But large enough to have an impact and not 'all' vehicles are registered,
so the actual number is way higher.

not using studded tires until they're really needed.

Yup.

Same here, I also keep maintenance records in Notion, easy to keepup with
since you can have Notion set alarms to remind you as you configure your
life/work-style. :-)
