Whoa!

I am not pissed off. May be a little. That's all.
I thought for a moment you were gonna suggest I go back to whereever I came from if I didn't like California.

If they ran out of numbers in the middle of the Summer, why don't you think there will be thousands of people clamoring for these numbers by the end of the year?
Some are clamoring now.

You didn't need to have your car ready to get a SB-100 number. All you had to do was to go there and produce some papers and some cash and you could get a number.

The car is not an issue not until you go CHP for VIN and the Smog Referee.

How would you like it if you finished your car in June of 2003 right after all the numbers were gone, and had to wait until January, and on January 1st, 2004 you either didn't have the means or the opportunity to go get in the line for one of those numbers and and when you finally did, found out that you were number 501?
You were told,now have to wait until 2005 for a car you completed in 2003.

2002 they didn't run out because most people didn't know or couldn't figure out how, or that there was even such a thing as SB-100. When did they pass the bill anyway?

In 2002 there were many people using alternative ways of getting their cars registered. Titles Unlimited etc.

In 2003 First 6 months of the year was long enough to go through the 500 numbers. That tells me there will be a minimum of 500 more cars that will go unregistered, or not driven.

Many folks are just finishing off their projects and getting around to registering them so they can legally drive them.

They can't.
So without even looking at the demand, 2004 will bring about, the 2003 carry overs alone will deplete the 2004's 500 spots.

That means no one finishing off a car in 2004 will be able to register their car under this bill. I suppose I am pissed off on their behalf.

Call me an activist if you like.

With Titles Unlimited folks behind bars and few others in the same predicament, there will be no more alternative relief when it comes to registration. SB-100 or NOTHING.

My guess is 1500 or so in 2004 will not be able to register their cars.

No more new Cobras sold into the state, no more Hot Rods, that can be scratch built.

I simply do not understand the difference between someone acquiring, buying or building a hot Rod in June or one doing so in July. One can drive his, the other can't. Is that fair?

How would we like that if they did it with convential registrations, pets, driver's licenses. These are NOt concert ticket, they are NOT SOLD-OUT, they shouldn't be treated as such.

Why am I pissed?

Why aren't YOU?

ps.What exactly are "CA attacks on the 2nd"?

Turk,

The original Californians where an eclectic group of people who respected and fostered self determination and self regulation; they didn’t care for Spain or Mexico’s Rule and pretty much ignored them. In Southern California they took many risks in this coastal desert. Water was Gold in very short supply. You would have fit right in. When I was a kid, I could walk into town with a rifle in hand, buy .22 shells at the bicycle shop, we still had our Western Culture as the bedrock of our social foundation.

Ron61, were you a Santa Barbarian?
