Reply to "Any GT5-S owners in California?"

David, I have a car with Historical plates. I have not had to have a bi-annual smog inspection for 8 years now. When I initially registered it the DMV lady told me that it required a smog initally. I spoke to the boss there at the time and she ordered her to send it to Sacramento to "See" what happens. It went thru. Why I dont know. I have also been told by the DMV that if I sell it smog will be required to transfer the title.

Panterapatt, There are many crooked shops that do illegal smogs every day. If you look on line you see that they get busted a lot too. Doing an illegal smog is really bad for our hobby in that it makes us all look bad. CARB assumes that since there is so much activity that most pre-75 cars are dirty. This is why they are constantly trying to tighten up on the rules for 75 and older.

Although CARB has now stopped doing surprise road side smog inspections for now I have to asssume that they will resume as soon as their budget improves. I used to see them once in a while when the economy was better. The bottom line is driving an illegal car is really difficult and untimately not worth it IMO.
