Glad I have no smog checks here, at least no until 2012 at which time my state switches to california standards. I am thinking that anything I do before that time will be exempt on the basis that not being exempt would constitute an ex-post-facto law.
Are you f-ing kidding me, Mn is goin to do the same thing as cali?
Well, it appears that I will be finding a different state to reside in within the next few years.

Not to worry, all states are going to eventually adhere to California standards. We need to even the playing feild, California isn't the only state that makes polution.![]()
I agree, but it is the most poluted state I ever lived in. In So Cal that smog was terrible when I left in 86. I can not even imagine what it looks like now.
I would highly doubt that all states would adhere to the commie rules in CA. I know that UT won't be doing it, there are only four counties that require emissions in this state. I don't live in any of the four.Not to worry, all states are going to eventually adhere to California standards.

I have been hearing that for 20+ years, it isn't going to happen.Your turn is coming brother, trust me on that.
If it does, you can bet we will be fighting to prevent forcing old vehicles to meet unrealistic standards. My county already has the number one air polluter in the nation, good luck trying to force all the citizens to meet an arbitrary standard created by a bunch of commies in California.
Especially when we have a governor who doesn't believe in global warming, and a state congress that is arguing about it as well.I also think it's BS that we have such strict emissions testing when the majority of the polution is coming from the factories that get to pay their way out of dealing with "smog control". Yep, just hand the government a nice fat check and they don't see anything.![]()
