They had a semi trailer in the early 90's that would emissions dyno test your car. We were out on Sunrise (like anyone between 16 and 25) on a Friday night when they decided to perform "random" smog tests. I watched a 1970 Chevelle with a blown 454 blowup their machine. They told him to make a full power test. Last we ever saw of that trailer.
If you hunt around on their website there's a great report detailing what a complete and utter failure that whole experiment was.
