Roadside Smog Checks
I was lucky enough to avoid a roadside smog check today in Valencia. Most of the time if you're aware you can find a way to avoid them, need be aware of what's ahead of you. There's lot of flashing lights and an officer waving people over. I have no doubt that if I would have driven past I would have been pulled over....Gary

From what I could see they had a car on a dyno, so they're doing sniffer tests. I would guess if you didn't comply they could have your car impounded. If you failed the next visit would be with a CA State Smog Board referee which means everything under the hood like intakes and spacers could be illegal....not to mention ART pipes and HFCs. Naturally they would be replaced with OE cats for any inspection!

New to the state? The first thing you should know is that this state will suck every penny they can and slap every regulation on you they can. Best advice is to GTFO ASAP.
