Ive seen them around and I actually been signaled to pull up to one here in Baldwin park a while back. I wasn't sure what it was until I seen a small car ramp they had set up. It was CHP that was running it. Luckily for what ever reason one of the officers asked me what year was my car and told him it's an 02 and asked me to pull out and leave. So not sure why they let me go, but I would have been screwed.
I think i read somewhere that theyre tryin to get OBD1 cars. thats probably why they let you go.

Smogged out Smog survey, yeah what a joke! I thought the seventies were cool when we could cut the air with a knife and who wants to see the Big Bear, Baldy or even the local foot hills more a few times a year anyways. I guess my kids will never know how it felt after getting "smogged out" from playing to hard with the burning lungs and pounding head aches.

It's funny, you can stand right behind your average modded sports car and be able to breathe just fine. You stand behind any one of the hundreds of semis, cement trucks, city buses, or school buses out there on the road, and try to take a deep breath within that deadly cloud of pitch black smoke, you'll be coughing up blood in no time. I don't care what any governmental EPA clown says; if I can see it as I drive through it, it's waaayyyy more pollutant than my Camaro!!!!
