they make you spend a hour with the tentacle ***** monster.

 

one more reason I hate the direction this state has gone.
You have any idea how much wasted money goes into that project?! We already have full smog checks every 2 years...that isn't enough for our tree-hugging **** run government?!

 

wait what?! they check for mod cars??

 

Looks like a one way street so you can not turn around. What if they caused you to miss an appointment or made you late for work?

 

^^I dont think its a mandatory check, its just for suvery purposes

 

ghey

 

I don't know who in their right mind would VOLUNTEER for a smog check as they were driving somewhere

Especially those who know they would fail

 

Whoa, my thread got moved.

 

wrong

they set these up so they can get MORE money

Cuz seriously I would say 1 car out of 10 will fail the test.

I saw these in NYC too, they usually pick small-mid size Vans, Sports car, and some old *** but not 25 years old yet cars (cuz after 25 yrs u dont need emission check)

Rofl, some ppl were screaming at that time. I was like wow, Government really needs money.

 

Being from Missouri, I honestly can't tell what exactly is going on in those picture...Do they just randomly select someone and....do what? Hold a meter up to the tailpipe?

 

Wow, sucks to be a californian.

I was going to say that this is an outrage, but then I found out they do smog test every 2 years from this thread? I'm sorry, but if they do smog test already, why would you even risk modding the exhaust if you care about tickets and fines?

I mean, if i lived in Virginia, I wouldn't have a radar detector in my car. Some state laws are ridiculous, but I'd still follow it so I won't have to pay the ticket/go to court.

But for the people with the cash who thinks having modded parts is more important than tickets, I have all the admiration and envy for you.

 

Because CA is for the win. Automobile Magazine may have named it the worst state to drive in, but it's still

 

Ugh...haven't seen one in NorCal. Hope they stay away from here. As if they don't have anything better to do than make life more miserable for everyone.

 

Wow this is the biggest crock of **** ever! Wtf is up with this country? **** obama! he was supposed to help this place not **** it up even more!

 

J03: this is the Governator's doing. I'm not trying to make this a political thread but he has gone on record about his wishes to make California the "greenest state" in the country because California must "lead the way"

 

The governator needs to green his corn hole. When the hell is that Guy going to be out of office anyway?

 

they have been having these in riverside forever, but worse they check for modded cars, thats why my 8 is home on friday and saturday nights, i make the homies pick me up

 

^^ok, so what are the tickets and fines like?

i'm legit...but just wanna be informed.

 

ref tickets are really expensive, but basically if you ave illegal parts, engine swaps, something as small as an intake that isnt carb certified they could heavily fine you or impound your vehicle at their discretion

 

Don't live in California Memo to self oh wait check lol

 

the strict laws are not gonna change my desicion of were i live, i love cali, only other place i could live would be texas or mexico

 

When no one can afford to drive cars in California it certainly will.

I guess Arnold missed the part where green states are broke states.

 

I believe it's mostly okinawa that got really strict with it. I forgot the details but for a while they would pull a lot of sports cars and such over looking for modifications even if there was nothing observable from the exterior. Stuff as small as exhaust modifications would get them in trouble.

 

Around where in N Y C bro? Kinda need to avoid this stuff at all costs.

As far as the OP goes, on that street, would it be possible to park the car?
Most times when I see cops break a U-turn or just suspect something I pull over ASAP and hop out of the car.
