Ahh, but that wasn’t done retroactively. I guess I’ll keep running my 87 Chevy pickup (95,000 miles on the odometer).

whether or not yer state did/does emmissions, its the same principle...make it cost prohibitive thru 'fees' to register and get yer plates, and effectively herd you into the system...

we could split hairs on the definition of 'retroactively'...but then Id hafta get the BJC ditionary out and figgure out the defintion of 'is' in order to do that...

the 'law' and thumb twisting at all levels of gubmint are a matter of their wildest imaginations at this point...
