cant wait for this to happen. an LS swap will move up to #1 on my list. CARB should always be around. i think there roll should change a far as cars/trucks go. i dont have a problem with smog checks. but the visual thing must go. they should just check what your motor is putting out and if...

i may be going. depends on what my daughter wants to do for spring break. usually its san felipe race. but maybe not this year. can i just pay for the BBQ and the donation to help save pismo and just camp where ever? that way if i don't go i still helped the cause.
