Default Calif canceled the new smog testing

Phuckers.

So they junked the implementation and you are gonna get a full inspection and a dyno ride.

I passed, but I thought I would just plug in and pass and be on my way.

It was supposed to expedite testing by being a "plug and pass/fail" via the OBDII port requiring no dyno.

From the same state that mandated "0" emission cars from the manufactures or you couldn't sell in Calif.

Agenda?

NO ****.

According to the examiner it did pass. I also saw that on my 96 s10 it must be taken to a "STAR" certified station with is part of the new AB2289 law. Maybe its up to the smog station you went to whether or not they want to hook you up to the dyno and do a visual or not? I did not see a clause where it stated the car shall be tested via OBDII check only.

OLD INFO.

The ******* state passes a law, but then doesn't notify all who it affects that it is going to be delayed.

Yeah Jerry Brown is on top of this ****.

Good ole cal, rolling blackouts, emissions testing, no guns, and every other ridiculous law on the books. Atleast Texas and FL still have a semblance of freedom.

LOL!! Stupid Cali laws!

I'm so glad I left that state. There was so much I liked about the state, but the legislators, have completely ruined it.

I suggest moving to a less communist state. And MD is not much better than CA.

Not in all counties - King and Pierce has emissions testing stations.

Anywhere else, you just pay registration.

That's why all my vehicles are registered in Whatcom county still...

Really if I lived outside King County no emissions? I did pass last week though on the Aurora testing station (no cats), thank you HP Tuners!
