I was on my back from In-N-Out (which I'm eating right now) and while I was going back on to the 91fwy, I saw a big orange sign that said "Mobile smog device ahead", I was just thinking "ok..." So anyways, the device was set to about the height of an average exhaust system for a car, and it was hooked up to an unmanned Chevy van, and here's the good part: there was a camera setup a few feet before the smog device, so I'm guessing it reads your emissions, and if they're too high, it snaps a pic and you get sent to the ref! Pretty crazy, huh?

 

:cue wacky....:

 

ohhh mahng. i saw that a few times going through there.

 

uh..Thats done by the STATE BAR. One of my customers at my previous work is one of those guys that travel up and down the state and do random inspections. They take your VIN even if you deny the "voluntary Smog Test". He says the state are going for the smog stations that the offending cars "passed" at. They will find the culprit smog stations and send undercover cars to stake out the station.

 

That's the thing, it's not a matter of wanting or not wanting to do it, you are FORCED. It's a "drive-by" machine/camera setup, it's pointed RIGHT where you pass, there is no way around it.

 

pretty much don't drive in front of it. you see it come up behind you pull off or switch lanes and hide in front of other cars.

 

How about turning off the motor and roll pass it?

 

get the car going fast enough to roll past, and push the clutch in and roll through??? would that work?

 

It's right towards the end of the one-lane interchange with no real place to go. If you go to the right, you'd cross through the path of the utility van with all the wires going to the smog machine, the other side is just a small drop-off that you wouldn't want to risk unless you were in some type of off-road vehicle.

That's what I would do If I were driving my FC by it.

*possibly* but I'd rather just turn it off and then turn it back so I'll know I didn't get "tested" unless you have a rotary that just leaves a trail of stink even after it's turned off

 

stupid *** son of a ****, mother ****** pos, **** sucker, *** drinking m'fer.

 

i agree^^ damn it..this is bad.

:AA:

 

HAHAH what if they review it and point you out for being too clean, they know rotaries are gross polluters

 

Nice, you actually listened to my voice mail instead of deleting it

 

well yeah after ignoring your second call, i wanted to see wtf you wanted so bad.

i thought it was either or

 

andrew are you ******* fris too?

god dammit you are a *****.

 

woah.... I see what ya mean now...


Would this thing work?

that freakin sucks... i take the 91 to the 15 to go to my vacation home.

 

Just like gas prices, the price on a pre-76 old school are going up also.

 

so is the rust,

 

^^^ ouch. lol

 

How about not taking the 91-15 interchange? I don't think I've ever taken that one.

 

no those are just a scam and I think an illegal one, watch MythBusters they did a show on all the different ways around the eye in the sky, none work, they all still get a good shot of your plate and you will still get a ticket,

how accurate can a machine be just sitting on the side of the road, the real smog they shove a tube up your cars tube (lol) and they run the damn thing at like 30 mph in first gear so the damn RPMS are so high, at least thats what they did to mine, well they do all that for like 5 to 10 min, so a drive by machine on the side of the road sucking mostly fresh air from outside wouldn't seem to me that it would read ****, especially if you pass it at about 25 mph, the air coming off your car would create a force of air that would blow any **** right past the meter..

I'll bet that they guy was just out to get some donuts and just wasn't there to stop anyone at that point you passed his van

 

Junk all FB, FC and FD's and invest on old school. I like Arnie Schwarzy's idea for cleaner air.

 

I will have to dispatch my smog station sabotage ninjas to make this problem vanish...........

 

Loopholes don't make for cleaner air!!
