Thanks Paul, that is exactly the information that I need (I think). I will call and ask for Lisa on Monday morning. Maybe she can tell me exactly what I have or don't have.

The other thing that I was wondering. If SB100 was not around when my car was first registered, would/should it have been grandfathered in? If the case is that I do actually have an SB100, but no sticker, will they just send me one or will I have to go through the SB100 process anyway? Either way, I don't really care. I just want to be legal and not have to be bothered buy this again.

Guess I should have asked the DMV on Friday what SB100 number they say they have in the system for my car.

FYI, This is the response that I received from Mr. Morgester.
This was a reply to an e-mail that I sent him BEFORE the DMV told me that I had a supposable SB100.

I would have to look at your registration history to tell you for sure. At his point I am guessing:

1. Assuming it was legally registered as a SPCN when it was first built (big if)
- BAR was allowing the year of the engine to determine smog
- BAR's regs were changed with the passage of the law that allowed SB100, no more engine models for smog year
- Those engines now have to pass smog based on year of build (not year of engine)

2. You registered it as a SPCN in 2005 when you purchased (good for you)
- Per your existing registration you either need to meet 2005 emission standards or have an SB100 exemption.
- Depending on the legality of the original registration you could ask for the original year of the build (early 90's) for emission testing [really wont help you]
- So this should have happened to you in 2005

3. Why the delay?
- I have no idea, you somehow fell through the cracks and DMV is finally on the ball. SB100 will solve all of your issues.
