    California smog checkpoint

    Came across this vid and was wondering if the owner of the E30 was on here. Can't believe they can do this to people that drive older cars.

    Wow, an emissions checkpoint? WTF. That's all kind of suck right there.

            Not entirely sure that's real. In fact, I don't think that would even be legal.

                Yes, it is very real and legal. I have seen it setup a few times on San Gabriel Bl/Las Tunas Bl in San Gabriel, CA.

                          FYI. There's no penalty if you fail. Roadside testing is only used to sample cars 1996 and older vehicles to see pass / fail rate of all vehicles within those years.
