Yeah, I swap out the K&N on my wife's 4Runner every 2 years. I can do the same on the Ram if it comes to that. At least until I register the truck in AZ.
Dude, the list is looooooooong regarding Kommiefornia and how things SHOULD be. But the damn democrats are like a cancer, this place is on its death bed and its terminal. CARB and smog checks are a total sham, all about money and has nothing whatsoever to do with the environment. Proof? Your example above-- clean tailpipe emissions isn't good enough, oh no no NO, you gotta buy overpriced "CARB-approved" parts (at two, three, four+ times the cost of the same exact parts purchased in 49 other states, just for a useless sticker!) and they don't give a dirty squirt of rat piss about your financial situation. If its about clean air, then the only thing that should matter-- PERIOD-- is the result of the test itself. Unless.... hmmmm..... the test itself is just another do-nothing sham? AAAAAAND, if they care so much about poor struggling families, but also claim to care so much about the environment, then why do they require a fee for the mandatory test? Why isn't it covered by the state? Cuz its a multi-billion-dollar money-making machine. Anyone reading this who disagrees and thinks CARB is legitimate, you're part of the problem.
A fee or paid by the state is coming from the same wallet. I would like to visit the beautiful parks and non city areas of CA but that’s about it for my interest.
Valid point, you are indeed correct. The state (and Fed gov) has no money that they didn't first steal from working people. But at least it wouldn't be a direct expense. Either way, the point is, the entire smog check program and CARB are multi-billion-dollar scams that hide under the guise of climate alarmism perpetrated by democrats, and the proof is obvious to anyone intellectually honest enough to acknowledge it.
