    So my gf's family just went to Tustin Toyota for an 07 Prius when the salesmen told them that there is now a lottery system for new HOV stickers.

    I was under the impression that it was 70,000 sets and no more.

    Is this sales men just full of it in order to get a sale or is he right?

    I have a friend That works for DMV here in CA and she told me that they probaly will not release any more because the program was not as sucessful as they had hoped.

    "Not as successful...?" Don't you mean too successful? How can something not successful be missed so much when it is gone?

    I think you need a new friend... The HOV sticker program was one of the most successful programs that the DMV ever instituted.

    I had a salesperson tell me that as well, but I couldn't find anything on it.

    I called the California Air Resources Board (CARB) (hehe) two weeks ago and asked about getting stickers. The guy said they issued 10,000 new stickers at the beginning of the year and they were gone by the end of January.

    I asked if they were going to issue any more, and he said that it is up to the legislature.
