Just went in to get my 01 Boxster smog checked for California. I have been going to the same check station for over 10 years now. Today, first time ever, they ask me to open the top. They said they would not smog check my car unless I open the engine bay cover to expose the engine and throttle body! Is this something new, have they been doing it wrong all along or does the station not know what it is doing now?
