CHP inspection and CA BAR?

Heh, heh, piece of cake.

Well, not really. I called the number the DMV gave me, and was referred to a smog check at 3303 San Felipe. I called and they said, "No appointment necessary."

I'm thinking, "Cool!"

3303 San Felipe turned out to be an el cheapo gas station on the corner of Aborn and San Felipe. Talked to the guy in the shop, and his eyes crossed when I showed him the SB-100. It was about this time that I realized I'm not talking to a smog referee.

I made it out to Evergreen College, and found my way to the Acacia building, the back of which houses the automotive department. I talked to the smog referree, discussed my car, and he gave me the appointment hotline number ( 1-800-622-7733).

Right now, as I type, I am listening to the same, dorky guitar rift over and over with "Our automated system is designed to provide our customs...yaddayaddayadda...otherwise, please hold for the next available representative."

Okay, so here I sit on hold, writing SQL code and hoping, praying this guitar rift does NOT get stuck in my head.

Please hold while I attempt to make an appointment and then get my car smog checked...
