Reply to "Crush your car for free - AKA CA Smog Laws"

Thanks for your insight George. My powder coater should be done powder coating my fabricated gun rack soon for the rear window of my Pantera…PPG Dark Cranberry for color contrast.

Since most people with show cars only take their modified cars out on occasion, I don’t think we are heavy polluters overall, but da law is da law. I could just see all the gum shoe’s & flat foot’s out there setting up these sniffers at entrances to car shows, as well as the local Welfare Departments.

In regards to smog station operators, I suspect most of us would have to go to a state operated referee station to ensure fixes are done. Trust me, this is hell. I had a problem with my stock engine Maserati Biturbo because they didn’t like the way it looked under the hood. Although it was clean at the pipes, it almost got scraped due to the visual inspection, which only was funky because their books didn’t match the way my engine was set up, and nothing was ever altered on that stock engine. Everyone will see if they ever end up at a state referee station…be ready to take at least a week off from work to deal with it all.
