Re: CA smog test cut-off year

[Steve Moresi <smoresi@domain.elided>]

 From www.smogcheck.ca.gov

At this time, all 1973* and older vehicles are exempt from the Smog 
Check Program, but owners of these vehicles are still required by law 
to keep their emissions systems intact. Current legislation requires 
vehicles 30-years-old or more to be exempted from the program 
beginning in 2003.

Note: All year designations refer to the model year of the vehicle, 
as listed on the vehicle registration.

Looks like the 74s won't be exempt until 2004?
