Passed smog test!



Where are you??  I'm guessing Cali.  The problem out here is that shops can
charge anything they want.  I don't think there is an regulation on SMOG
rates.  I've seen as low as $25-26, $50 for test till you Pass, 80 is the
highest I've heard.

Shit I'd send your receipt to the SMOG people and bitch about how much it
cost.  There should be some legislature on how much they can charge for it.
I know in other states it's a set price, but then there are sometimes the
"Special" under the table fees, which are OK, if you need to pay those for
"something"
