yea cus checking people for smog is WAY moar important than checking for drunk drivers.


CA, you are a **** head.



....im running if they try and smog me.

 

I was reading about it last night after posting in this thread. I didn't find much information out there, but some US cities and the State of California are implementing a variety of portable smog screening.

One form appears to be what was described in this thread -- a large, mobile, but not exactly "portable" device that requires time to screen individual cars.

The other form that I read about is essentially a red-light camera for your exhaust. It essentially sniffs your car as you pass by and will send you a ticket in the mail. It sounds really creepy, but it seems like it'd be easy enough to defeat because the accuracy at a distance and not having a reading through the powerband would be questionable.

 

ya that red light sniffer sounds retarded. it will never hold up.

im glad to see our tax dollars hard at work on this kind of retarded ****.

 

You guys should take the rolling smog seriously. It aint no joke. So start looking for a pre-76 cars.

 

Why can't we just pollute, global warming has already begun, we are all fuxored... might as well have fun while it lasts.

 

dude dont say that i dont want to have to go back to stock.. that and i dont want to drive around a rust bucket..

:AA:

 

Then junk it; an easy solution

 

omg??...junk for sale!!! wackys rx2/3 get it while it rusts.. 20 dalla 20 dalla...

:AA:

 

That's like telling people to junk their rx2's back in the day. To some people these cars hold more than monetary value. What if the smog exempt law didn't exist and all cars, no matter how old they are, had to pass smog if they were to be driven on public streets. You'd be just as worried if the case was that you only had one rx2 as a daily driver and a very small income.

Also, rx2's and rx3's aren't rust buckets if they're fully restored. I'm actually saving up so I can get my hands on a fully restored one. Those cars look so good!

 

is it really 76? i thought it was 74?

oh well. it should be, you have to drive a car older than you to have it smog exempt.

wacky could only drive a 1902 ford. haha. ******* old guys.

 

Im still runnin' my outta state plates, they are good til 2008. Thanks for the heads up though. Im not gonna worry about smog til I need to register in Cali.

C

 

.................running outta state plates is getting just as dangerous
My cousin got pulled over by a cop near his job....the cop told him that he ran his plate 2 months ago and it was reegistered out of state.
Well i guess you can only run an outta state plate for 30 days b4 they can now make you register it in this great state....

there was an old thread about this somewhere so you might want to get your car register real soon.....b4 they pull you over and check your ****

 

you want one of these ugly looking thang!!!!! I AGREE!!! THEY BELONG IN THE JUNKYARD for parts.

 

mmm... sexy! now imagine that with a 20b, and cops can't say nothing about that!

 

Dont forget to wipe when you're done fantasizing.

 

too bad they arent wagons..............oh wait did they make a RX2/ 3 wagon??

 

Hey wacky, can you come up in yur mobile beast and smog my ****? I dont get to the LA area much too busy. I give you money!!

 

About half of average pollutants at my last smog test .

As for out of state plates, it's legal as long as you don't live or work in California. If you drop down every weekend you're all right, but I bet you'll draw suspicion if caught.

 

I've noticed these around my house too a couple times, it's literally been a block away from my house.
It was on Ball Rd. between Moody and Denni, on the westbound side both times.
Luckily i noticed on my way out going eastbound and then took the "long way" home
I'm going to hate the day when it slips my mind and i get caught in it, or they decide randomly to switch to the other side of the street.

 

wackys in on it to make more $$$ from his illegal smog hookup.

 

I have a friend that owns his own smog shop and he's good friends with one of the state referees and part of the crack down is to nail the smog shops for illegal smogs and performance shops that do illegal engine swaps as well. I work in Stockton and I have seen this setup with the portable dyno and in Modesto as well, and of course their main target is imports.

 

ohhh this is scary...

 

so does it mean we have to start driving domestics?
