Damn, you know I used to know a place north of San Diego that did under the table smogs. I lived there for a while, but I can't for the life of me remember where it was. I do remember it is right off of the 5, just south of Oceanside. There is a US Bank near it, too if that helps. West side of the 5 also. Hope that helps, I know it's broad.
Congrats on the swap. Look forward to pictures. --------------------  |

nice, congrats on the startup, and good luck with the under-da-table smog.
I wonder how bad the emitions are on a jdm 3s, i mean they cant really be that bad, i've drove behind some trucks that dump thick black smoke all over the place yet there legal. --------------------  |

It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |
