No - right now it's vehicles before 1974. They don't have an "older than x years" system - every once in a while, They pass legislation that moves the "line" up a few years, and, yes, it's usually 25. however, it doesn't move in the interim, so it's been stuck at 1974 for several years. (I had to deal with that crap with a '74 that I had with a bad exhaust two years ago). --boinger On Wed, 2002-03-06 at 12:26, Tom Falcone wrote: > I thought that cars over 25 years old were exempt?
