RW> TW> Does my vehicle qualify for a smog exemption?   
      
   RW> TW> Smog inspections are required unless your vehicle is:   
      
   RW> TW>     * Hybrid   
   RW> TW>     * Gasoline powered 1975 year model or older   
      
   RW>Interesting. The cats from that year weren't much good for anything but   
   RW>clogging up the exhaust system when they aged...and now they're exempt   
   RW>from smog inspections.   
      
   The otherside of that coin is that except for a few diehard collectors   
   there are very few left on the road.   
      
   RW> TW>     * Diesel powered manufactured prior to 1998 or with a Gross   
   RW> TW> Vehicle   
   RW> TW>     Weight rating (GVWR) of more than 14,000 lbs   
   RW> TW>     * Electric   
   RW> TW>     * Natural gas powered with a GVWR rating of more than 14,000 lbs.   
   RW> TW>     * Motorcycle   
      
   RW>They fail to mention that 2 cycle motorcycles aren't allowed in   
   RW>California. Nor are gasoline lawn mowers in LA...   
      
   Only the Sale of 2 stroke motorcycles is not allowed as I recall. But   
   again there are very few left since they have not been sold for so many   
   years. I always had a love for the 2 stroke 500 CC Suzuki. But after a   
   couple of friends got killed by the Typical clueless drivers here I   
   dropped that dream.   
      
   RW> TW>     * Trailer   
      
   RW>My car trailer would be exempt? Wonders will never cease...   
      
   I think that was put in there because of Trailers with Generators in   
   mind.   
   It is a mind boggiling concept though the even mention them as being   
   exempt.   
   Note that the Exemption for iesel Cars, Thanks to the Oldsmobile Diesel   
   fiasco, and that even the smaller Propane or Natural gas vehicles need   
   to be tested.   
   Even though they burn VERY clean as compaired to Gasoline.
