Indeed it has...if only they had kept their promise with the 30 years old cars not needing smog, the fact of the matter is that they are trying to get any older cars off the road now. When I was at the DMV to get my truck VIN verified, there was a lady who had a 1985 car which she said ran fine and passed smog, but the shop that smoged it flagged the car because it exhibited some smoke. This is very disturbing as they only paid her $1000 for the car, which she claimed would not buy a replacement. So we have a car that passed smog, was completely stock but because some smoke came out the exhaust they made her take it off the road. That there is politics at it's worst and how it effects our hobby. I have a 1984 911 which passes smog, but I don't drive and is registered PNO. It could be deemed the same one day. That's worrisome.
