CA not allowed to set own emissions laws.

It affects all vehicles that you bring in from out of state. That's why more people are leaving CA than going in, also why I will never return.

Brings me back to my point about freedom of choice. The regs has made it so you can no longer choose a light duty diesel in CA. That's some bs in my mind. Maybe I'm just retarded.
 
Naw, you don't need smog for a sticker. All the sticker was for was to let the SP's/MP's know whose car it was. Left over thought process of the 80's. Now all of the States are linked together with license plates, so the mil doesn't use stickers anymore.

Uh in CA you do atleast in San Diego. It is a Southwest Region regulation that all vehicles on the military installation will have a valid smog certificate at the time of registration on the base if that vehicle requires a smog cert for registration in the state.

I know all of my vehicles had to pass smog with Washington plates for me to get a sticker for San Diego.

All Navy bases still use the stickers for access to military installations.

damn, that's gay. We didn't even need registration here. Just proof of insurance. Now it doesn't matter since the stickers are bye-bye
 
The Air Force did away with the base stickers. It was a "safety/security" idea. They tell us not to make it known we are in the military to lesson the chance of becoming a target but yet we have these nice stickkers on our windheilds marking which vehicle will be allowed on the base. The theory is that "bad" people could place a bomb or something on a sticker'd car and get it on base. Personally I think it was simply a cost saving measurement. I read somewhere that each of those stickers were somewhere around $5 to produce. Multiply that by the 150K (rough guess) people in the A.F. and many having 2 cars gets rather expensive.

On that note I still have a sticker here at Pope A.F.B. becuase it is attached to Fort Bragg and they will not let you on without a sticker unless you get searched every time.
 
moaybe this will keep ca in check, they change emissions laws more than some people change underwear lol.

ca and alot of other states want to try and make it illegal to modify your vehicels in any way. i read an snipet online regarding emissions from auto races and groups pushing to get racing orgs to reduce their emissions.

oh and most cars today have all the same crap on em if they are federal or ca cars, bout the only hting different is the sticker and the cost.
 
As a life long CA resident:

I can tell you, this smog s**t is a PITA, but you get used to it. I can remember only needing a crankcase device on my '65 Skylark GS and then some of those 70-80s GM products with really crippling smog crap on them. Now the state seems to be selective. My '04 Dakota has had to be tested yet (including '08), but they want to test my '76 Jimmy every 2 years. (When I bought it, I thought it was too old to be tested) It's not insurmountatble, it just costs me more to have it pass.
