I couldn't register my Ramcharger because it failed smog, despite having a new engine and emissions equipment. It started everyday, ran, drove, and towed perfectly, and got a respectable 14mpg (for a carbureted 5.9L V8), but it didn't do it clean enough. Then Kalifornia offered to purchase it from me for a LOUSY $500 so they could junk it. It's worth $3500 everywhere else IN THE WORLD (probably more than $3500 in some places), and is a PERFECTLY good vehicle!

Just to spite them, I've since changed it's registration to off highway only and disabled the SMOG crap. Now it gets 6 or 7 mpg, makes tons of noise, and I HAVE to drive it off-road and tear up our forests.
It's Kali's fault, they made the problem worse, they didn't have to be so strict.

I HATE Ka/CARB. **** THEM. Stupid oppressive ****s.

BAMA, you had better like jumping through hoops. It's a ****in circus in this state when it comes to vehicles.
Traffic, carpool lanes, CARB, metering lights, double standards, inclusions, exceptions, exemptions, fees, fees, and more fees.
