Not trying to butt in - just thought you would be against having your car crushed is all.

Sorry I own three smoke billowing diesels and the whole global warming thing is ********T with a capitol B.

This is why we CANNOT allow obama in office..give a liberal an inch..and he will take a mile...hell if algore would've gotten the presidency, we would be riding around in covered wagons...oh wait..horseshit puts off emissions as well I forgot..
there's just something seriously wrong with liberals..musta been all the hallucinagenics thier lsd and weed smoking, bra burning moms took in the 60's...

wow, this went sour quick. Back on point, i guess to play the safe route you have to go FI with carb approval, move, or go with a more stock option.
Just curious, how "modded" is your exterior. Sleeper stealthy looks are very much a good idea. I have gotten more crap from cops doing nothing wrong with my car stock then i have since i added what i have into it since you cant tell outside the car....

sorry to hear, but not surprised being in CA with a turbo
sounds like you took the gamble with a turbo in CA and lost
but man is CA polluted. Can't blame the state for doing everything in their power to not have everyone die of lung cancer
Don't big trucks have extra taxes that you pay now in CA?
it's a damn shame to crush cars though that can be sold and have that money feed the poor...

I hate the laws against modded cars in this state, you should be able to register your tuned car as emissions compliant by a smog referee the way it's done with exhaust noise violations. Prove your car smog legal, get a Smog Ref sticker on all your mods, and a certicate of CARB compliance.
Then you'd be able to avoid tickets.

Thank goodness I live in Texas. I could probably put a submarine nuclear reactor inside my car as an engine and they wouldn't ask for anything but a higher registration fee.
The fact that Schwarzenegger is so desperate on his budget that he's taxing the people in the way of tickets and violations is reprehensible in my opinion. If he can't get his programs through without screwing the people then it's up to him to choose which programs are most necessary and which ones need to be trimmed down.
At the end of the day he's not much better than Davis.

Another question...
Would it still be street legal if you have a built motor and a Vortec S/C? Or is it only street legal if you have the Vortech on a stock block?

This does really suck though. I'm lucky enough to not even have to go through emissions testing (in one of the most liberal cities in the nation), so I can pretty much do whatever I want. But I totally feel for you CA people. I still don't understand how they can Constitutionally crush your car.

a while back when i got my last tune at GTM i got pulled over on my way back to vegas by CHP. i was going 5mph over the posted speed limit,i know he pulled me over due to the way my car looked. there were other people on the freeway blowing past me and i was the one he decided to pull over. he looked over my car and commented that the car was modded and was not legal to operate in the state of CA and if he was being a bigger ***** that day he would throw it on a flat bed and have it towed back to the nevada state line. i think he was talking out his ***!!!! is this true that even if you are from out of state the vehicle must comply with CA laws just to drive it through the state of CA. I THINK NOT!!! but i was not going to argue with him at this point.

Can someone shed some light on this please?

2 ways to do it. 1)If you have out of state plates...you must have the drivers license to match...OR... 2) If you have to have a Cali license, then the car CANNOT be registered in your name. A cop cannot tell you that you are not allowed to drive someone elses car.
If you pick #1 and you get pulled over....they will ask how long have you been living in Cali...the answers is "I live here PARTIME"...PERIOD !!!
They cannot tell you which state to pick!
I live in AZ & TX with FL plates...Even when I lived in Santa Rosa Cali...I had FL plates. I am not reading this out of a book...I am living it.
