Paul,
As a fellow Californian, do you have any info. or horror stories about
'B's going through Smog Check II? I am unfortunate enough to have a 74
(the last year not exempted--life isn't fair) and am due in July.
You know, of course, that the state can dictate that up to %15 of all
cars are required to go to "Test Only" stations, and I'm curious if
they have identified 'B's as being in that cozy group of potential
GROSS POLLUTERS.
I've heard that these particular examiners are ruthless, and have
unlimited power over our MG futures.
Any stories, anyone?
Jim
'74 B
