Hi All, cutting to the chase, ALL 500 SB100 Certs are gone! What I am told by my DMV consultant is that the only way to go forward now is to have car actually pass smog, issue is not emissions, but what they compare the car to....apparently I need to take car to a smog "referee" (just a few scattered in LA area), who looks at car and decides what "year" he will assign to the engine, then he puts sticker on car, then you take to smog station and they use that assigned code/year to enter into system to run test....risk of course is that he/she assigns a code/year that requires more equipment than car has....of maybe I get lucky. If so, then car gets registered like any other car, and gets smoged every 2 years (unless I can snag a SB100 on Jan 1 2011!

Other option is to forget about CA for now and register under my name and my brother, who lives in NV (where its registered now with smog exemption), and try to get SB100 next Jan....for now that is my plan, unless that creates insurance issue....I checked with Allstate and they say no problem, I just emailed the famous "Robbin" that got such high praise on an insurance Thread, will see what he (she?) says.

I will keep all posted.....by the way, anyone know of a REASONABLE transport co to get car from Vegas to LA?

Thanks, Neil
