So, my car was due for the annual smog check. Drove off to the $49 place and put'em to it.
New this year is the rollers on which they drive to actually load the engine while measuring emissions. What a neat idea...
The whole smog check took about a half hour. They also adjusted the timing from 0° to 12°.
Next up, they do the dyno test. Emission is tested at 15mph and 25mph. On rollers.

Last test is to test the actual fuel cap for leaks. Keep that gas in the tank!
