I came across one of these about 2.5 years ago near the intersection of Black Mountain Rd. and Carmel Mountain Rd. in PQ. Just a Flu describe; an officer (Highway Patrol I think) was selecting cars to be stopped.
I prompty went home, stripped the parts of the modified Civic I had at the time and sold everything, car included. It was getting to be too much of a hassle to drive the car around town, even being a second/fun car.
Between the constant threat of theft and “The Man” eyeballing me. I would literally get followed for blocks, I assume trying to come up with a reason to stop me.
The odd part about all this CARB sticker nonsense is, the car was “smogged” with non CARB legal parts in place and actually ran cleaner than stock. Of course the car wouldn’t pass the visual inspection portion of the test without the appropriate stickers.
