Having worked with both CARB (California Air Resources Board) and the EPA on
several rulemaking efforts and issues I would strongly recommend anyone who
lives in California start pressuring your representatives to restrain CARB.
They are out of control and don't have to consider the burden they place
upon the people they are supposed to represent.  The EPA does a MUCH better
job.  CARB is more about politics and feel good legislation as opposed to
really make the right long term decisions....

I NEVER understood California or any state having a visual inspection for
the proper emissions equipment. There should be NO NEED to open the hood and
look at anything! What the inspection is to determine is if your car is
polluting. If a car has a hose stuffed in its tailpipe and the exhaust
passes the amount that their book say it is allowed to have then what
difference does it matter how it got there?!! I could care less what series
of gadgets a person used to make his car meet the required levels. Everyone
knows that what a lot of people do is to have the stock engine sitting
around until it is time for inspection then replace the high performance
engine with the stocker in time for the inspection. Illegal? Sure! But I bet
the guys who do that probably pollute more than the guys who if allowed
would run a H.P. engine that did not have all the stock emissions gear but
still ran clean enough to pass. Just my opinion here. Nobody is for having
dirty air BUT why cost people lots of $ just to get to the same goal?
