I'm going to assume that maybe someone else has said this, but to me these
kinds of political BS comments has no place on this list.

I moved here in 1971. It was a very different place back then. Not as crowded
and not as regulated in all aspects of life. These days you can't keep up
with all the nanny state laws being passed every year. You can be a law
abiding citizen one day and a potential felon the next. Every year brings
more regulations and control over almost everything you do. Let's not get
started on the gun control issue. Now they can take all your firearms with no
crime having been committed. All someone has to do is convince a judge you
MIGHT do something to yourself or someone else. If that is not the thought
police, I don't know what is. Yes, you don't have to smog a car made before
1975, but every year some lame brain democrat will introduce a bill to make ALL
cars have to undergo smog either retro actively or be destroyed even though
they do not contribute even 1 percent of the smog to California. That bimbo
from the San Francisco are Fran Pavley tried to get all motorcycles have to
undergo smog tests retroactively back many years over a certain engine size.Â
Never mind motorcycles are not ridden as much or as often as automobiles or are
a mall percentage of all vehicles on the road. Luckily it was defeated. It
all started going down hill when the legislature in California went for being
is session for six months out of the year to year round. Yes Bob I do feel
free to leave this quagmire of rules and control of personal liberties. Every
one of my hobbies I will pursue when I retire is now being controlled by either
the state of California or as in my radio control hobby the federal government
being the FAA in particular. The FAA wants to treat my 7 pound model airplane
that does not fly out of my sight or place anyone or anything in danger like
all aircraft and make me be licensed to fly it. of course the license is not
free. You have to pay for the government to control you. I retire from the
railroad at the end of the year and am seriously eyeing Arizona as a retirement
destination. At least there I don't worry about an new firearm law being
passed every 5 minutes.Mike MacLeanÂ

There is no 'tax' on installing K&N filters in California, and I've never seen
any 'sticker' on the filters. There is a sticker that comes with K&Ns--I
bought one for my '96 Ranger many years ago--that you affix in a visible
location in the engine bay that attests that the filter is in compliance with
CARB rules. We've had the truck smogged 8-9 times since then, with no
issues. See:
http://www.knfilters.com/streetlegal.htm
But, why let facts get in the way of California-bashing? And, if 'Kalifornia'
is so rotten, why did you move here (you aren't required to smog an
out-of-state vehicle unless you are attempting to register it here; again, more
of them pesky, fun-spoiling facts). And, none of our Healeys require smog
testing in 'Kalifornia' (thanks Pete Wilson), and there are no mandatory,
arbitrary 'safety' or 'roadworthy' inspections.
Feel free to leave California at any time.

Bob
I had a K & N air filter on my German car when I took it from KY to Kalifornia.
It did not have the Kalifornia special tax paid sticker on it so I was failed
at the smog test.Rather than spend $350 to get the same thing with a sticker on
it, I reinstalled the OEM system and passed no issue. I asked to be retested
and the results were worse than with the K & N. Interesting what a little
Kalifornia EPA mandated sticker can do: support the politicians ?
