the letter states " compared to other motor vehicles of the same or similar type ".......

so all you need is a few dozen vw's to show up at the same time , emitting similar amounts of smoke

California is already setting up random "remote sensing stations".

They can conduct instant emissions tests by shooting UV light beams at the tailpipes of passing vehicles, and then photograph & send fines to the drivers of anyone over the limit.

NOx emissions is what they're looking for in diesel vehicles.

Where California goes, the rest of the world will follow. Photo radar, red-light cameras, now this.

I agree with these letters. You people and all of your smelly diesels that should be taken off of the road. You should all be required to by Denali's and full size pick-ups that you never load as much as a branch into!

By the way, I hope you all know that I am kidding!

I just hope that no one reports me when I fire up my Suzuki GT750 and GT380 two-stroke motorcycles. I know my neighbors wouldn't, they think there cool. Boy do they really smoke up the neighborhood :lol: .

They are doing this in Texas too. I always lift when I go by, just in case.

Every time I fire up the CR500 I think that it smokes terribly. Then I give the RD a few kicks. You'd better hope that it fires quickly or you won't get enough oxygen for it to run on.

A couple of years ago I was pulling away from a stoplight in my 80 1.5na Rabbit where I had a cop right behind me, and I smoked him pretty good, well right when I got to the next light it turned yellow and I went thru (along with 4 or 5 other cars), the cop immediately turned on his lights and I pulled over. He read me the riot act about the yellow light, I told him I didn't think I could safely stop in time and that there were other cars that went thru too, then he got pissed and start complaining about the excessive smoke from my car and that he was going to have it towed to the DOT for inspection, I said "but officer, it's a 25 yr old diesel VW, therefore it smokes". His face got beet red and he stomped back to his car, and I drove away laughing after smoking him out again. :lol:

Hi all .. long time no check in .. sorry !!! I got one of these too, from the smog check dept of the peoples democratic republic of Kalifornia ... in my case it was climbing the Waldo grade into SF and I'm dead cert it was an assbite in a Prius. SF is full of Enviro weiners that think their Prius's ( Toyota should change the name to the 'Pious'!!) are just so HOT, HOT!! they explain to me all the time how I'm ruining their air by driving a diesel.

Then I tell them that I get better mpg than they do (55 vs 42) and they don't like that at all!!!!!

Then I tell them that I'm taking my son to Nevada to shoot machine guns and they start shaking and foaming at the mouth while they fall to the ground twitching and flailing their arms and legs and shouting incoharantly: child abuse! water pollution! air pollution!! dead polar bears!!! baby seals!!! tax cuts!!!! global warming!!!! polar ice caps!!!!!! OH the HUMANITY!!!!!!!!!!! ....

I just leave them right there .... once I did call the cops .

I told them that I thought that some Pious driver just got electrocuted by his car. :lol:
