Yes I will admit... Californias government is so ******.... Im so sick of all this going green BS, and smog is at the top of my list. For those of you that dont know, we must smog any vehicle newer than 1975 every 2 years. The entails a visual inspection, and an emissions test... You are not even allowed to make your vehicle run cleaner... its retarded. Everything must be stock besides some approved after market parts, that dont work well anyway. We are allowed engine swaps, but only if the engine was a stock option for that make/model of the same year or newer. Putting in newer engines is a HUGE pain in the ass though because you have to get a bunch of paper work approved...
Basically that state of California hates our year trucks and is trying to get them off the road.
