[Healeys] Vehicle Registration in PA

[Bob Spidell]

I see how that kind of 'loophole' would encourage that. I think that was mitigated in CA, which had (has?) a 'cash for clunkers' program which paid, I think, $750 for older vehicles, running or not. They offered to buy my Healey a couple times; I wrote back that I MIGHT take $75,000. Never heard from them again. 

Generally, the only older (pre-1968) cars I see on the road are a) primo collector cars and b) original, mostly Detroit iron driven and lovingly maintained by VERY senior citizens. 

Senior citizen=anyone older than me.

When I lived in South Carolina, there was mandatory yearly vehicle 
safety inspections and high registration fees for cars 20 years old and 
newer. If you had a clapped out POS older than that, there were no 
inspections and something like a $20 registration fee. Thus, poor 
folks, who didn't have the means to maintain a car in the first place 
were encouraged to drive the worst of the worst. 

The assortment of rolling deathtraps on the road there was quite 
interesting, and it wasn't uncommon to see car wrecks that looked more 
like plane crash sites as these things disintegrated on impact.
