Subject: Re: Failed my smog inspection... by 86PACER on 2010/4/3 17:45:29 You forgot to install those hydraulics vato.  My daily driver with 290K failed for the first time as a "Gross Polluter". That earned me a permanent spot on their shit list as long as I own the car. I can only test at one of these from here on. There are only a few of them and their speciality is being extra pricks about everything. Fixed it myself and these where the results. http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/2474/smoga.jpg You would think that with these kind of numbers on a car with 290K on the original motor it would shut them up for a while, or get them off my back. I can no longer use my shop of choice that I've been using since '04.  Could have been worse though. Here they used to switch you from biannual smog to yearly from what they told me. Stopping the exempt roll up and making it fixed at '75 pissed of a lot a lot of people for sure. In contrast when I lived in NC, all they cared about was that my horn, wipers, and turn signals worked. CA has even come up with some crazy remote checkpoint machines to set up roadside at random locations in order to catch people. Crazy bastards. http://www.smogtips.com/remote_sensing.cfm |
