I wasn’t going to cheat the system, I’m just merely pointing out that the system itself isn’t exactly taking gross polluters off the road.
As I think I’ve said … it’s amazing what kind of junk one sees on CA roads sometimes. I also find it cute that CA doesn’t have safety inspections. So you can have a car with a good engine and cat, but 100% bald tires down to the cords, loose suspension, a missing brake pad or two, and cracked lights, but yeah, it will pass.
