Not only do I have to get a smog check again, I have to go to a TEST ONLY center...reserved for the top 15% of polluting models on the road (not volume weighted). I can understand why they required my old 85 5.0 T-Bird to do this, but why a Mark VIII?
They should put swastikas on these places. $100...pass or fail, and the test is basically a full body cavity search for cars. If you fail, you get no money back, have to go elsewhere to get your car repaired, then come back to fork out another $100 to test again, hoping you pass. If not, go back to step 2 above.
I'm really hoping they don't get me for the AFPR. It is illegal to even HAVE these in Orange county, though the regular smog guys don't ever seem to 'notice' them.
