I've had cars smogged many times in CA, no problems. MG's, Triumphs, the
Jag's too old. :-) I strongly advise leaving CA! Particularly since you
like to whine. Please go elsewhere and whine! Try Montana.

If you want ther best shot at passing smog take all your business to the
same person so you develope a realationship, and get that person to help
as much as they are legally allowed to. You would be surprised what the
technicians can do to help and still remain within both the spirit and
letter of the law. I have done all my fuel purchases and smog certs as well
as just getting to know the owner of the local Chevron Station. After 18
years of business I have very few problems with such matters. Of course
my attitude from day one established the tone of the interactions.
