I heard Florida is doing smog checks now or soon in the future, you better check it out.
That's what I said, they can't prove it. I can simply say that it's a junkyard engine. They don't know and are to stupid to know. I know that the LSX engine doesn't have a smog pump cause I've been under my 'vette plenty of times and under the hood and haven't seen such a thing in years!!!!!

Florida is NOT doing smog checks. Jeb did away with it in his first term in office years ago and governor Charlie will NOT **** off his voters. Florida only used to have smog inspections in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Hillsborough and Pinellas Co.s and all though I live in Palm Beach Co., I still have my car under my father's name in St. Lucie Co. Smog inspections are the biggest scam and joke anyway.

I am born and raised in Miami and grew up with the stupid smog inspections and remember that you could go to David's shop across from the DMV and for a fee to David you could go across the street to pass the inspection then go back to David afterwards. It's all bulls#!t. Later on they allowed, actually allowed, mechanics to have "certified" emission testing shops and it was all bulls#!t. You were "guaranteed" to pass every time.......for a fee!

So again, why should I worry?!
