[quote=spdrun]Too much money in it not to have duplicate bureaucracies. Someone is making money certifying the parts for CA use, not to mention selling the certified parts for an inflated price.
The ironic thing is that I actually see more smoky clunkers on the road in CA than around NYC. Not sure if safety inspection gets rid of the worst of the worst, or if they simply die due to rust before they can turn into smoking messes.[/quote]
I don’t believe pre-1973 vehicles have to be “smogged” in CA and we don’t have “safety inspections” per se (any Pigg correct me if I’m wrong here).
