Happens a lot more than you might think. States get into the act under
the umbrella of the EPA laws.


I've still yet to hear or read of a single case myself.


Spot checking of modified vehicles at large "car shows" has been
promised, and reported.


I must have missed that line. Where and when was that again?

Just because your car is registered as a 1927
model "T" ford does not mean it is exempt from emissions testing if it
has a 2009 Chevy LT between the frame rails.


No kidding.

Officially it needs to meet the requirements for the 2009 vehicle the
LT was originally supplied for (determined by the engine number).


You don't say.
