It's very common out near Sacramento/Elk Grove/Woodland area.

Isn't it just a voluntary test? It says in the pdf that you can refuse....

that sucks...guess i missed that. so if you end up getting selected and you do the test with mods...does that mean a guaranteed fix it fine?

I love that the report confirms what we all know, with "overall failure" rate being twice as high as "emmissions failure" rate, we know that all the visual inspection and CARB EO numbers are straight BS.

"Only, in California...."

pyr0b0y · 05-11-2013, 07:26 PM

It states in the PDF

'This data is only used to evaluate the performance of
California's emissions reduction programs. There are no consequences to you for
participating regardless of your emission equipment or emission levels.'

....I don't know if I believe this or not....

From some inside knowledge on this.....

"Sorry, I don't have time for this today cause I'm late for ______"

and you'll be on your way. They can't force you to participate.
