Getting a little ahead of myself here, but in the next few years we're hoping that we will be taking Rita down highway 1 in California.we were talking about it at work and someone said you better make sure your smog is up to date on it or you will get fined because the motor is out of a 2000 pickup and they have small checks at several gas stations. Does anybody know the rules or have any experience with California smog laws. I know Colorado and some other states are pretty fussy too
