They still do.
It's funny you mention that. I was just talking about that with my step daughter. I was telling her that her Mom wants to move to San Diego. I'm like "F" that LMAO! I said Florida is better. My step daughter said she would rather go to Florida as well.
So, I told her we used to live in Tampa from 01 to 05. I told her it was pretty nice back then. However, I can imagine how crowded it is now. And one thing that pisses me off more than anything is sitting in traffic LOL.
I would rather drive 20 miles while moving than sitting in traffic and traveling 1 mile LOL.
I'm lucky. It takes me 15 minuets to get to work in the early morning and the same 15 minuets to get home in the mid afternoon.
Yep, that's how it's done in TX Bob. There's good and bad about that too. From my understanding a tuner can go in and change the settings on your monitors. So, this might help with the computer inspection process. Won't help with the pipe sniffer though.
However, if your car is stored and the battery dies and it is inspection time you will need to drive your car for a good distance in order for your monitors to reset. If you go for an inspection and your monitors come up "not ready" you will not pass (Don't ask me how I know LOL).
When I was originally doing everything to my car I had it set up to pass all the monitors. Even when I went with the Whipple and return set up all the monitors would set. Obviously now I don't worry about it.
I've pondered making it a choice for the person. I'm pretty sure my car would pass a sniffer no problem. But then I'd had the scan done on all my other cars.
Been there done that. Not that I minded having to drive it to set the monitors.
Can you provide extra details on this?
If the vehicle is registered to the LLC, do you have to jump through extra hoops to get commercial insurance?
Two things:
Smog checks = revenue
Illegals = Votes
They dgaf about tracking the latter as it is part of their plans. The former they use to maintain revenue.
Except CA legit has a nark hotline: Here’s how to report vehicles with out-of-state plates
Georgia isn't fan of it either, being it's a felony to defraud the state:
In other areas, sure, go for it, I would... just not in CA or GA
I continuously tell people this but no one listens. CA’s narc hotline and if you get stopped and have a out of state plate with a cali license you are screwed. The program was updated and has been in place since 2018 I wanna say and it made me not want to risk it as it’s a fine that’s rather large. Even AZ has a law preventing out of state plates for vehicles with drivers who have AZ licenses; the ticket is like $800.
Florida's been full for decades, sush
Every state is different, and every owner is also different. If it's a Veyron or so that you drive twice a month to cars and coffee, you can likely get away with Montana plates in a lot of states. If you're a doctor with a new R8 and going to daily it... you're greatly increasing the odds of getting in serious trouble.
That's awesome you can do it yourself Bob. However, I was trying to indicate that people who do not have cats need some of those monitors set up differently
. So, a person can pass computer wise, not so much sniffer test wise.
**** them. Ga charges full sales tax on a used vehicle. It is not based on the price you paid for the vehicle, it is on the states book value of the vehicle. So if your parents sign over their $10k car to a kid and kid goes to register it, they are going to get a $700 bill at the dmv. Ga used to have an exemption for private sales, but they got rid of that too. It is double taxation by the state, which is illegal.
It seems like the fine is based on the registration fee. Last time I looked the fine was like $100. Given what the registration cost and what my "smog" was going to cost, it was worth rolling the dice for me.
That's some real bullshit there.
Because his palm print is attached to every single smog test, that vehicle’s vin #. If something ever comes up, they can go back and look at his history and the vehicles he smog tested for accountability and compliance.
No one listens because it's illegal what CA and other states are trying to do to those who operate businesses in other states.
I have 1099 income and as long as im permitted and licensed from a business perspective where I pull that 1099 income from, how the **** is CA going to tell me where to tag my vehicles? They can get ****ed.
This seems like a lot of ****ing effort for what is essentially a nothing burger in terms of air population. How about they start testing all the freight ships.
Its about control of the populace.
Freight, cruise ships and commercial aviation make up the vast majority of emissions.
