Screwed in California ... Grey market cars & emissions testing.

When I purchased 9193 I was unaware of grey market cars and how CA. Views them regarding smog and registration. Since It's a post 1975 car it is required to have certain smog devices and a test to get registered. That means I'm shafted with little chance other than " Historical Vehicale " registration. Even that's a big maybe.

Talk about a sucker punch that I didn't see coming. Ouch !

Anyone with ideas or advise please post them. For now I'm just going to continue working my way through the car while thinking and swearing. Been doing a lot of swearing . Am very, very close to road ready and really don't want to sell due to this crazy screwed up state. Who knows, may be an out if you are an illegal ? They seem to get special consideration here.
