One of the draw backs of living in the land of plenty, personally I'd move. California has gone off the deep end with the emissions testing, just like you said they almost expect people to go out and buy a new car every other year just to pass a smog test!
I live where there is no smog test at all. people round here take new trucks and pull cats off and put flowmasters on. doesnt really make sense to me but then again it not me doing it either. all my emissins are still in place on my 96 suburban but I have noway of knowing if it would pass a smog test or not, it doesnt smoke or use oil, I keep it tuned and regualrly change oil but I bet it would'nt even come close to passing a cali test which to me is b/s, I feel for you guys there, Goodluck, Charles
