For those of us that drive our classics every day, I sure hope they don't
come up with something that suggests limits on driving - since these
knuckleheads will want to think that people don't possibly drive these
cars every day.

Hey guys,
I yapped with a future politician named Michael at Mr. Flores office this
afternoon.
He said the flack they are getting from this is huge (big suprise), they
are
busy putting an amendment through to make "Classic" cars exempt.
He was quick to say they are clueless at this point how they will define
all
those "Classics".
According to him If they are not successful it creating a definition the
majority are happy with they will drop the bill...should get interesting.
