    If so did you have to return your $1,500 rebate? I'm looking at the requirements now and it says you have to keep the vehicle registered in CA for 3 years... :/ Has anyone here gone through this?

    Just like most government programs, there is probably funding for the rebates but no funding for enforcement. But who knows, maybe they have flagged each $1500 recipient's DMV records and if you don't do two renewals you will be sent a bill for $1500.

    The $1500 CA rebate also says you need to keep the car for 3 years or return the rebate.

    I think that would be a question that some people here could answer more easily. FWIW, I know this person who traded in their car and got a new one that was also eligible for the CA rebate. As far as I know, they didn't return anything and they have never been "asked" to do so either.

    LOL. I think the opposite. 80's and 90's in January? I don't want or need any of that. I don't like 80's and 90's in August, let alone January.

    Quit bragging:). Yes, we need a lot of more rain soon to get the Sierra its much needed snow pack for the coming dry season. We finally got a decent rain over the last 36 hours up here, and probably some more in a week.

    More seasonality for this "winter" would be welcome, but I'd take this weather any day over what the Midwest, Northeast, and South continues to deal with over recent weeks. I grew up in SoCal and lived a number of years in the midwest recently - we've got it pretty good in California.
