CA Smog exemption
Yes, I had read that previously. And yes, SB712 leaves the pre-76 exemption in place. The bill is about collector cars, not old cars. They're not trying to make all old cars smog exempt.

CA Smog exemption
So all in all, I'd say the real question if this bill passes (and I'm not getting my hopes up) becomes what vehicles the collector car insurance companies will accept.

CA Smog exemption
Hagerty lists garaging as, private garage/barn/pole building. Do you not have access to any of these? Respectfully, bit of a stretch to blame "the libs" for that. Get a garage, you can list your vehicle as garaged at a different address than your own too. :)- mlsceo

Heavier oil probably won't change consumption but won't hurt either, Give it a try if you're so inclined.- mlsceo
