Welcome to my stomping ground Joseph.  Are coming here to work or
go to school.  Either way, California is not cheap.  The smog require
ment is now State wide.  I don't yet know the differences between
smog equipment in California and the rest of the Union but I'll look
them up in the Bently and let ya know what I can determine.

Hope we can do some VW campin' together sometime.  Also, I suspect
Martha Rubin on this mailing list might be able to give you some
tips on the smog deal as well.  She also has an '80 I believe.
