California smog info! important!

hey guys i have my smog lisense and i was noticed today by the state people that there is a new portion of a test added to the smog check on march 1st

it is the visible smoke test. now your car will fail if there is any little bit of visible smoke coming from anywhere in the car.

i know many of us dont drive our cars while they are smoking but just wanted to give everyone a heads up

i will be posting more info like this as soon as i know
