For what it's worth, I'm 20 miles south of San Francisco and even have views of it from my property. Ask me if I care about smog-tests and/or CARB.

Lots of peeps don't want the hassle of finding and paying a shady smog place to pass them, though.

It has absolutely nothing to do with paying off a "shady smog place."

C'mon, now...just try to imagine how many highly modified late-model cars there are driving around the LA or Bay Area. From Supras and Evos to Corvettes and Vipers...do you really think these cammed, straight-piped, upgraded-turbo cars are all returned back to stock for a smog-test? On that note, do you really think the only people who drive modded cars are the ones with "hook ups" at "shady smog places" and everyone else is SOL?

No.

LOL, of course heavily modded cars aren't returned to stock every time they have a smog check. Who ever said they did? Most with heavily modded cars have a hook-up at a smog shop and pay them extra under the table to pass them. Several people I know do. If you're saying that it's cheap and easy to do this, that's fine for you, however, I guarantee that there are many that simply don't wanna deal with this.
