Default Random Smog...

I was reading on another forum about California setting up random smog check points. The Pictures I saw looked like they were from So Cal but that doesn't mean it won't reach the Bay. Anyone know anything about this?

not surprised. Cali needs money and they'll do whatever they can to get it.

This just sucks because my truck does not even sound close to stock and with the cam I highly doubt it will pass smog....

from what i gather you may refuse inspection without fear of reprisal, that it is volontary although they may pressure you. There was a big thread on norcalls1 forums.

The good part thing about a truck is we escape most of the profiling.
