I hate to ask seeing that you are from the Peoples Republic Of Kali. But what is a Smog Notice? Is this a random check of cars?

Every other year we have to get a smog inspection , sniffer , but this year , I got the dreaded Test Only notice . These are the Smog Police state sponsered guys that hate hi performane mods . I heard of one guy here in town that actually wrote down the E.O. numbers off all aftermarket parts and looked them up online to verify correctness for the car ! Yikes . The whole top of my engine is aftermarket . All correct though . As long as my rings seat okay I should be alright , just another inconvenience .
