Lonnie, our post confirms exactly why I left the Bay Area. I am a Californicator by birth but couldn't stand all the old car regs-seemed to me to be a way to tax people out of owning old cars and trucks. When I bought my 64 crewcab from VPW the wonderful state made me weigh it and the charged me accordingly! My first time registration fees for a 30 year old truck were $385. and only(!) $85 a year after that. Registration up here in sunny Portland runs $35 for TWO years. (OK, so my first time registration up here for the Beast was $45 for two years[had to get new plates]). The newest car on my property is an 83 RX-7. Would like to make it into a planter-but I need to get some money out of it(the girlfriend bought it) to keep the peace around here. It is the only car here that needs smog checks and soon it will be gone. Everything else I have is older than 1967 so I don't have the hassle of smog checks like I did in Calif. If you would like a change,come on up and look around, it was the best move that I have made! Take Care. John
