Gjeep Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Any sort of non-compliant CARB approved tuning picked up through the PCM will be a fail at smog. https://www.yahoo.com/autos/california-start-testing-ecu-tunes-133700524.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaleless Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 That's why everyone is moving to Texas, Florida, and Arizona. For whatever reason people don't like suffering the highest cost of living in the US for a quality of life more appropriate for a Soviet gulag!

tugboat95 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I've been working in California for the last year or so. Still live in NC. I'm just blown away at all the draconian rules, taxes and fees you have to pay there. My job takes me all over the country. Seattle and NYC come close but nothing tops California. Company I work for can't even send certain pieces of equipment there that's used throughout the rest of the country.

scaleless Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 You can't even buy the GOOD Brake cleaner in California! I don't know how Jay Leno survives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad R Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 There is a family that I know that made it onto a game show and won a large sum of money. It was filmed in California. By the time they got done paying all the taxes involved they got less than a 1/3 of what they won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yeah, but compared to California, New York, New Jersey and the like, AZ is a shining beacon of freedom haha! I think it really boils down to proximity; people leaving CA don't want to go very far. AZ is second in net migration rate only to Nevada, which seems to support that.

Minuit Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 You could come down to backwoods Tennessee. I'm fully of the belief that some of the people around here have started breeding with vegetables, but hey - no emissions OR safety testing to register vehicles!

fiatslug87 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 At least we have relatively clean air considering the number of vehicles and do not have safety testing, if I remember correctly we did in the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Florida, specifically northern/panhandle area, including Southern GA. Thats whats happening. Wife and I just got back from our 5th trip down there in the last couple years. Yeah, there are some faults, like everywhere, but probably in about 6-7years I'm thinking thats where we're going to migrate to. Either that or St. Croix.

scaleless Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Well of course every state has its own share of problems. It's called the federal government! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
