et Gas vehicles get the five year grace still. Funny thing is with all the garbage hanging under my truck, it burns cleaner and is closer to a PZEV than any gas truck out there. The smog check is a joke, looks under the hood for any modifications, then plugs in to see any codes or pending codes, then send you home with a lighter wallet.

Here in Colorado the rules for emissions are:
Colorado is quickly becoming California-Lite. 
New gasoline or gasoline/hybrid vehicles are exempt for the first 7 model years. Vehicles that are all-electric are exempt from emissions testing. New diesel vehicles are exempt for the first 4 model years.

In NH, any vehicle about 8500 GVWR is exempt from emissions testing, gas or diesel. Otherwise, even a brand new vehicle is emissions-checked. But we don't do an actual smog test...it just involves hooking up a state-owned code reader to see if there are any DTCs and if all the readiness monitors are indeed ready.
On the other hand, last October when I got my 2017 truck, I paid the state over $1400 to register. This year, its dropped to $1275, lol.

Same crap in CT - what pisses ya off even more is that the exhaust that comes out of these things is cleaner than the dam air that goes into them.

if that were REALLY true you could close up the garage , fire up the truck and use it as an air freshener right (?)

'cause it's that goof they're lookin' for

some a-hole pulls up beside a truck that has the windows down and a guy sleeping inside
the ******* then rolls coal into the open window

UCLA...................When the Smog Clears.
If I remember correctly Emission Control Devices installed on new Vehicles 1st began in Cal. Many years ago, then spread to the rest of the Country. My gripe is that the EPA put Emissions on Diesel Trucks, but have done nothing about the millions of Houses that burn Fuel Oil for heat, and have the same emissions pouring out of their Chimneys

That's great though - love it - I didn't 'get' the coal in the truck part some guy was sleeping in his truck with the window down - someone pulled up next to him and did what? Coal is as hard as a rock - I know - I burn 3 tons of it a year - just throwing it in his truck isn't gonna kill him. Before you condem me for burning coal - it's mined and processed in the US - I can't go much deeper than that without diving into a political or racist conversation - maybe just say I refuse to fund ...

Just in case you're being serious about 'rollin coal'......
It the term used for when the thick black smoke comes out of the exhaust. It is a sign/symptom of overfueling. Once the turbo catches up & supplies enough air, it cleans up.

Just wait in a couple of months the California new gas/registration fees go into effect. Can't wait to see how much my 2016 will cost me to register. Why do we keep this idiot in office. (Brown that is)
