Bonyhadi,
The website for the special vehicles isn't even known by some of the Calif. DMV offices. I had to give it to the Redding DMV. They didn't know how to find out if the 500 was already used so were just going to send in the paperwork and then see what came back. Not so good the way I read the attachment bill as if they are over the 500 number then you are going to be nailed for the 2002 or 2003 registration and all applicable smog junk. Better to wait a month or so until the year starts over and they have a new 500 available. I was a little surprised at the fact there aren't more cars being registered than has shown up but by adding the used ones to it now that may eat up the 500 allotment.
