RW>I used to pass a $20 to the smog check guy in California to do that.   
   RW>Eventually the state got smart and tied the smog check machine to a main   
   RW>frame in Sacramento. No more cheating...

   Some cars now Must be inspected by a Smog Test Only station.   
      
   If the state determines your vehicle will most likely fail a smog check,   
   the California DMV will send you a registration renewal notice stating   
   whether you must take your vehicle to a test-only station. Owners of   
   vehicles that fall under this High Emitter Profile, (or those who own a   
   vehicle among the 2% randomly selected) will see the following printed   
   on their renewal: Smog Certification Required at Test-Only Center.   
      
   By law, the test-only facilities cannot repair your vehicle. You must   
   take it to a Test-Repair or Gold Shield station. For more info on   
   station specifics, visit the official site of the Bureau of Automotive   
   Repair. This site also offers a station list so you can find an   
   appropriate facility nearest you.
