    " no rule in the DMV book about it(NOT EVEN IN CALIFORNIA)"

    I would not be in a DMV book. It IS in the FMVSS (
    FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDSAND REGULATIONS)
    I deal with the these standerds every day in my line of work.

    overall sounds great, i just dont quite agree with the side marker thing. they are reflective and you will notice vehicles that dont have seperate ones have them built into the front and rear in some form. the side of your car, especially in black, will be hard to see at night. that makes you a target for people running signs, lights more than usual. i personally liked the huge octagonal oddball ones my wifes 68 cougar had because they really stood out. one of the things i like about the reflective grabber stripes too. maybe you could paint on some reflective details that only show up at night in a headlight instead:huh:

    I have found a infraction on every car that goes against californian laws:slap:

    One good thing thing is that the cops have started enforcing these laws more especially on the fart-can mufflers 10 were pulled over yesterday:clap:.

    yeah, if cali had their way you would all be riding bicycles and walking. thats fine when you live where it doesnt snow and are in perfect health. personally i had no problems commuting by bicycle when i lived there, but i would never force it on someone. completely a CHOICE and ability. so glad i only go there to visit now!

    Okay.. ya so this HEAT Wave is getting a little out of hand... but it will pass in a few days!

    And... We might have as many as the Georgia boys... just not all of them are members... and we might have just as many cars!

    (I have my eye on 3 cars that I might purchase right now....A 75 LDO Maverick up in Running Springs, a 73 Comet down near Hemmet, and a 71 Comet down in El Segundo.... all 500$)

    I think this might be true i spoted 3 this weekends,2 of them i see all the time, one was a 2 door big bumpered pearl color, another is a rusty green one that i've spoted at the community college, and two block away from the college is a guy i went to school with that has a 74 orange grabber, on saturday when i was pulling into my house i saw a 72 comet GT w/vynil top on the street and it stoped at the barbershop, so i went to go look at it it was a purple one that still had the original stripes but was mising the scoop,didnt have my camera and i couldnt find the owner.

    Also the other day me and my sister were going down on jurupa ave and i saw 2 big bumpered ones, there is also another 71 mav grabber at the apartments of of iowa ave.

    I might be car stalker:D

    I have an eye for a 4dr here in riverside for $300...if only i had extra room.
