=====================
Let me restate that earlier thought. Actually the CARB _would_affect my
Neon. Since it's a 49 state emissions legal car and not a California
emissions car, I'd have to pay a "polluters" tax upon moving to sunny
California. Or if I had purchased a California spec emissions legal Neon,
likely it would have had a little less power due to their emissions
requirements.

I'm no expert, but doesn't that apply only to "stock" cars? How about hot
rodded cars with big blocks, lumpy cams, multiple carbs and farily open
exhausts without catalytic convertors?

Tehy have tornadoes on the coasts. But their tornadoes have lots of water
in 'em. ;^) Our tornadoes just have run down El Caminos and cattle flying
around in them. ;^)
See you on course.

Take a ton of bolt and steel
A whole lotta sweat, a set of wheels.....On the Speedway.
The flag is down, pistons pound
Plenty of engines ripping around......On the Speedway.
