My 2 cents:

I can understand people wanting to have Cobras when California gave them no avenue. And I condone their actions that made it possible for them to own these cars. Now that they have a way to register them, legally, that should be the only path they take. I feel that taxes should be paid if owed.

At the same time, California should grant some sort of amnesty to let people take advantage of recent changes in the law. That would be the right thing to do.

There are other states that allow specially constructed vehicles to be titled as the year they are constructed to. I feel that if a person with a legal '65 from another state moves to California, they should be able to register their car as a '65. Why some states insist on making criminals out of honest people because they wish to interpret other states' titles differently is criminal in itself.

I suggest that a special crimes unit would contribute more to the welfare of the residents of the state if it would concentrate its efforts on street gangs, drug peddlers, thieves, rapists, child abusers and other hard criminals than persecute some poor bastard because he is in love with a 1965 car.
