^^ Antique Honda (ROLF)

Keep in mind that there are two VA inspections:

emissions (old cars can forego this even without antique status: though really i'd say "fix it: you at least need a working cat", no, VA doesn't require that

safety: problems here cause HIGHWAY deaths (any small problem at that speed can quickly lead to real deaths: ie, a poorly fastened part falling off a car, holes in the passenger floor or vent system flooding passengers with toxic gas, etc; which sometimes smells sweet)

NOTE: Honda accord around 90's had air bad, fuel injection, catalytic converters, seat belts, collapsible steering column: they're MODERN cars. Antique vehicles are not held to safety standards (such as air bag working): and for other things the "owner takes responsibility not VA, for the inspection and for any incidents cause by owner's oversight of self inspection".

QUESTION: Why should any modern car, especially a kicker driven by someone not even from VA, NOT pass safety inspection like everyone else's car? And emissions to: why shouldn't they pass some level? They are not old chevy big blocks: they should pass or spend some money trying to get them to pass.

DeSoto s do not have airbags. Chrylser built DeSoto s from 1929-1961. There was no such thing as an airbag, then.

Antique status; is that like Maryland plates living in Manassas type of thing?

You didn’t know my grandmother.

OP, why don't you educate yourself and look at the restrictions on cars with antique tags. They can't be used as other vehicles can be used.

You are just another blowhard who knows nothing and speaks from his know-nothing knowledge.

here is the truth. so yes while a honda accord could be considered for antique plates, it still must meat all the safety requirements from its date of manufacture. and you can't legally use it for daily driving.

are you telling me this or the asian who's using it for daily routines?

this is a sanctuary city. you think asians care about some moral code of yours that antique vehicles are thought to be on the road not as much that's only 1/2 written in law?

your stupid. they'll use it as a commuter car

Please get back on topic.

Should any fuel injected air-bag era cars be listed as "antiques".

(meaning: no/less safety inspection / "inspection by owner", skipped emission inspection)

(and in democrat run fx co: used as asian commuter vehicle to yoga class)

the FOCUS HERE i'm trying to relate is that just because a car is 20 yr old doesn't mean that a historic society would like to donate money to preserve it

I'm saying that no modern car asian or usa truck period should get antique status

do you get me?

another way to look at it is this: there isn't ANY reason these modern cars cannot pass inspection if they buy the parts at trak-auto

they simply have no historic value AND there is no TECHNICAL reason they cannot make their car safe like everyone else has to

it's just excuses

You CAN use it for daily driving, up to 350 miles from the garaged address.
The law changed on this.
