    What amazes me about this strange State (don't get me wrong, I'm a native
and I love it here) is that they make us put up with this smog stuff, but we
have nothing resembling a safety check like so many other states do. It makes
things easier for us in some ways, but you should see some of the killer
vehicles(and I don't mean that in the good way) on the road here.
    I have heard of people getting stopped for random safety checks and
ticketed, but it's never happened to me or anyone I know directly, in 32 years
of driving here. The only related ticket I ever got was for having Lucas
Flamethowers on my '64 Corvair, back in 1965. And that was only because the
CHP stopped me for passing him at about 70 (65 MPH speed limit at the time),
and was embarassed to give me a ticket for speeding, so he found something
else.
