who really gives a rats *** what's under the hood if its not polluting

honestly they are chasing around the 1% who mod cars when they should really go after the 99% of people who daily drive their old *** beater car that pollutes more than any modern era car would

I say what the hell's the difference when we have all these cars driving around San Diego with Mexico plates. Seriously. I think my Z with LTH still pollutes less, and is probably quieter than those POS's.

UPDATE:
Apparently SMOG shop owners are fighting this new law, because it is so easy to get certified and smog cars(since its just a code scan) that anyone could do it(a forum member here could get certified and "pass" people at meets if they don't have any CELs) and it would put them out of business.

I don't know how true this is but I read it off an M3 forum, and thought I should spread the news.
