Hahaha, Just got a letter from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District

They said , because my 75' REPU is older then 1987 that they will pay me $650.oo bucks to get that heap off the roads... what the hell can i get for 650 bucks?... another 1987 or older vehicle ... what a bunch of idoits

I guess I should be expecting another letter about my 87 FC

This is part of that 'stimulate the economy' scheme. So sell it to them for $650 and when the tax relief check arrives, another $600, then you'll be in good shape for getting at least a 1990 Ford Escort GT.

as far as I know they have been buying back old cars for years, it's there way of reducing smog

that just might work.... oh wait, maybe they're a bunch of tree humping homos from San Fran... in which case that could back fire



I would never give my REPU to the state... they would crush it

anyhow, there is a disclamer in the letter..." This program is completely voluntary... If your vehicle is a classic car or otherwise valuable to you, please disregard this letter"


I don't know if it's a classic(in it's current state) and it isn't really valuable(at the moment)... but I'm still gonna disregard the letter

I would consider selling it to someone who would fix it up
