[Vwdiesel] Question

[Herold, Walter L]

I guess I'm fortunate that my work takes me all over the country (and the world if I chose to do so), and in doing so, I've established residences in many different states.  For instance, in my last contract, I lived in PA, worked in NJ and DE, was employed by a company from NC, and was paid by a bank in CA.  When I go to register a vehicle at any DMV, and for some oddball reason, they give me a hard time, I don't argue with them (keep in mind this is a DMV LOL), and I just go to another state.  The fun part is when I get stopped by a cop for any reason. :)  In all the years I've done this, I can honestly say that I only ran into one cop in Illinois, that wasn't happy with me.

What ever is considered a collector car is in the eye of the beholder but in Calif., any car that is 25 years older can qualify for a collector car plates. I also wonder why the person with the diesel VW had trouble registering his car with the DMV as diesels are currently exempt. However, I understand diesels 1998 & newer will come into the hated smog test program next year. I don't know how they are going to check. Probably an under hood inspection to make sure nothing has been removed & an inspection to see if the tail pipe smokes too much. I think owners with 1998 or newer diesels that have converted them to run on WVO may be in trouble even though biodiesel & WVO produces less smog than ULSD to my knowledge. This could be a problem for those of us that live in Calif. & other states such as Mass & NY that copy Calif. smog regulations.
