My dad owned a ‘69 Chevelle SS 396 when the gas crunch hit. He traded it in on a....

This one would have been subject to a dyno test and for even a moderately competent tech, it’s no problem to drive a test cycle on these.  If you mess up during the test and can’t keep it in the range, it will put you in time out and let you retry.  It is not one and done unless you either really suck at driving the…

This thing has been a problem child during smog tests. There are a lot of suspect tests - “A” = Aborted, meaning the technician aborted the test for some reason, “T” means the technician has reported the emissions system has been Tampered with, “F” = fail.

I forgot about that loophole- but yeah, if that was on PNO the seller would have stated that.  Conveniently no plates on the thing so you cant see if its even been tested.  Super fishy.

You don’t need a smog test to transfer title out of the state - you’d be subject to whatever (if any) testing was required from the new titling state. Sounds like your guy never got OK registration for reasons unknown and likely the plates on the truck didnt belong to it.

Former CA smog test guy checking in - yeah, it’s totally on the seller legally. They can write “as-is” and whatever language they want on a bill of sale but in court, each and every time the seller will lose.

I sprayed this on my Cessna and it disappeared.

We ain’t ready for Honkeypox either.

Yeah, those lines are ridiculous.  Luckily my work schedule puts me passing our Costco shortly after the pumps open in the morning.  I usually drive right up to a pump with zero waiting.

My second favorite of these videos are a type more than a specific instance. I’ve seen several where a car slows appropriately for the bumps and someone behind them decides to go around and unknowingly send it.

Why dont they just build the whole plane out of the stuff they make the black boxes from?

They kind of deserve each other.

That was my first thought but I dont think that would even be enough

It’s in time out, sitting in the corner thinking about what its done

Take your damn star you glorious BeanDog, you
