All FYI, there is a roadside smog check in Roseville off of Foothills blvd and Pleasant Grove.

It's located on Foothills going Southbound away from Pleasant Grove.

Irritating. lol

If it's what I've seen in the past they put a bus out there with a dyno smog machine next to it. A cop flags people in randomly and they do a smog test right there on the side of the road. If your running illegal they pop you, if your legit but fail you have to get it fixed and pass smog. They haven't done these for a while and I almost got snared in one but saw it just just before I got to a stop light. Its just like the DUI stops, they set them up in a spot where its almost impossible to see before your stuck and if you try to turn around they come after you.

the state needs money because they spent it all on drugs and hookers and they know you got money so.. get in line for the road side smog test.

It's NOT illegal. It's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.

Yup. This is what happened. If you see signs that say, "Survey Crew" AND you see tents in the road.. U-TURN. LOL

I didn't see any hoods popped but if you are driving the car listed in your sig, I'd stray away.

I will try to find out if there are having future ones and let everyone know.

A buddy of mine works for the BAR & he is part of the roadside smog test program. He told me that a cop is parked nearby where their mobil smog dyno is setup & will randomly pick cars. He also said that you DON'T have to agree to do the test if you don't want to, so I don't think we have much to worry about.

Is this like telling a cop you don't want to pop your hood?

They might be after modded cars, but I think they are more after the older cars that won't pass smog.

That'll keep your hood shut, but you can still put t on the rollers/sniffer.
