    Hopefully you never have too.. It's a "random" selection draw, or they require it if the make/model of car is known to pollute more.

    the STAR Smog requires smog techs to run the car exactly as the manual says while the ECU is hooked up to the computer and it records the run live so they cannot lie. (the Smog tech told me this)

    Ah - NOW I see what you were talking about! I've never HAD a STAR smog test, and I never WANT to have one AGAIN!

    The new STAR requirement was recently implemented so that is why you haven't had one in the past. So again, hopefully you never will but if you do be prepared for the above to happen.
