Surprised by all the props he’s giving it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My experience from a couple years ago convinced me the ruling caste wants these cars to die. I’ve owned my ‘03 since ‘04 and have always left the Diablo Predator switch in the custom tune position. It passed multiple smog checks in that configuration until 2018. In 2018 I took it to my regular...

Oh great. Something else to worry about now. Lol Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

YW. Honestly, make sure ALL of your monitors are working. The way I read it current regulations mandate that any vehicle being registered from out of state must pass smog irrespective of whether it’s being registered in a smog exempt county. Used to be they would just do a sniff test for...

Top sticky post from 03Cobra#694 in the marketplace. Word of advice from a current resident: if you’re moving to a smog check county and ANY of your monitors are disabled you will be sent to BAR referee who will then pick it apart and deny certification based on any combination of arbitrary...

Fumoto is a lifesaver. First time I changed the oil on my 2012 Lariat 4x4 the oil shot out like a firehose. Fumoto got installed on the next oil change and now it’s easy. Unfortunately the filter is still a blind install on that 3.5L ecoboost. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

And it looks like BAR field stations may be closing ‘temporarily’. COVID-19 Impacts on BAR Programs and Services FFS this has got to be the absolute definition of ‘non-essential service’. If they’re shut down does that mean you get a pass on inspection? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Well, I am thinking of moving to Idaho. How do you like it there? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Wow. The mullets, KISS makeup, and flava-flav bling are impressive in that forum. Unfortunately that post is a couple years old, and the state seems to have tightened the thumbscrews since then. Paying a fine wasn’t an option for me, and even if it was this time my bet is it won’t be next...

That was my plan B. My family lives up in Del Norte county, so if I couldn’t get past the smog I was just going to wait a bit then register at her address, until the smog nazi’s invade up there anyway. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

No smog cert=no registration or yearly tags. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Wait. What? Where is this happening and what agencies are involved? Commercial vehicles have always been subjected to safety inspections, but passenger vehicles haven’t.
