!!! Socal Random Emissions Check Points
 
While driving to get some food, I ran into one of the random emissions check points that CHP had set up a on the side of the road that had a portable dyno and a gas analyzer on the road; typical things the smog stations would have. Long story short, I got tested, no penalties I was let off but as they printed my results, they printed two copies, one more me and one for their records.

For those living in or driving through Ontario, I'd avoid driving on the main streets. I got caught on Mountain and Fourth. I called a buddy later, and he told me that they set one up on vineyard by the 60 freeway the day before. But yeah, everyone with swaps and such, keep your eyes peeled! they're cracking down on everyone.

I'll post pics and video when i get home.

HKsilvia 04-30-2007 03:18 PM

YucA 04-30-2007 03:18 PM

Kaotik25 04-30-2007 03:19 PM

It's starting in So-Cal and within a couple of months it's going to creep up to NorCal. That's it, i'm moving to S. Dakota.

bigboyevo 04-30-2007 04:01 PM

Those are notorious down in San Diego CA. They set those up by my work in Chula Vista. Last one I saw set up was about 2 months ago on Broadway Between Palomar ST. and Main. Thank god they didn't pull over my 89 Civic Wagovan (DOHC ZC equiped).

bustav13t 04-30-2007 04:01 PM

Wei240 04-30-2007 04:44 PM

I wonder why...

azndoc 04-30-2007 05:55 PM

This is why we pay our taxes with our hard earned money. You would think they be out catching gang members, rapists, murderers, and child molestors. But noo........ their standing around wondering how they can mess up my day.

Bingo. All these kids ass raping the environment with non passable smog cars and crashing into trees injuring other people, they need to do something about it. I hope they start it at every intersection, send all those cars to the crusher and these worthless fuck kids crying to their parents for an increase in their allowance so they can buy a clean car and not break the law.

We all live here, I'd like to continue breathing.

DragonUSMC 04-30-2007 07:56 PM

Midwest = no crazy emissions laws. And to quote an old movie about Iowa... "Is this Heaven?"


Yes... yes it is.

wootwoot 04-30-2007 08:44 PM

Hey guys, I got pulled over in the parking lot at Publix, Stickney Point and 41, for the tint on my dads truck. Be careful in the area because this one officer has a stick in butt and is not happy. That time of the year again.

2. Did they give you an option, or was it mandatory?

Thank you. +1 for you.

TheSquidd 05-01-2007 11:25 AM

hahhaha, everyone in this thread that has posted from my area has negative rep and spells like a retard.

Yeah, I'm sure our SR20's are killing the environment and putting some 17 year old kids in jail and impounding and crushing their cars will solve EVERYTHING.

:tweak:

yusuke1923 05-01-2007 11:28 AM

It won't solve everything, but it's a step in the right direction. Taking ignorant fucktard trolls off the road is a good stride towards a better World.

:rofl:

I'm sorry, how does "ignorant fucktard trolls" relate to smog legal cars? I see hundreds of "ignorant fucktard trolls" (I think I'm talking to one right now) everyday in perfectly smog legal cars. You can't stop them, and making more laws only makes it more difficult for those of us with some god damn sense in our heads.

In fact most people I know with smog-failing cars are quite the opposite of "ignorant fucktard trolls". They have the knowledge and know how to construct and maintain a vehicle such as these.

Taking stupid people off the street? How is that EVER going to be accomplished? You think that just because I have an SR20, that doesn't pass CA emissions laws (even though it could pass the sniffer if I wanted it to) means that I should be taken off the road? Because CA declares it visually unacceptable? I know of trucks that are sold as brand new today that will emit more pollutants than I do.

If you think this is true, maybe we should abolish construction equipment, and coal power plants, and smoking, and poop, and cow poops, and hair spray, and air conditioning, and all racing on the entire planet will be done with skateboards and motorcycles from here on out. And you can only wipe your ass with one square of paper.

Are you sure you're not from San Francisco?
Do you ONLY ride a bicycle, well then you're an IGNORANT FUCKTARD TROLL driving some emission making car!
In fact, if you're driving a 240sx at all you're driving a car that only passes out dated emissions standards! Buy a brand new car you wasteful shit! Stop polluting my air!
Do you ever use full throttle on your vehicle?? WHY GOD DAMNIT!? Use light throttle and stop making me breathe your death!
Do you use air conditioning? Hair spray??? You should die in a fire!
Do you recycle 100%?!?!?! If not I'll shit on your face!
Hell, the power you are using to power the computer you are typing from came from a power source that is most likely "unclean", you should set your computer on fire!


Smog Nazi's FTW.
