Ive talk to many people out here in California and it seems owners of 1st gen Explorers need to go above and beyond in order to pass a smog test in California. Ive smogged many cars in my lifetime and it seems that every time my ex has to get smogged, I have to do a complete tune-up and hop on one leg just to get it to pass. But neighbors, friends and family take their old toyotas, nissans, hondas etc without tuning up and their cars pass with flying colors. So my question is.....are the 1st gen gross polluters? It seems like California wants all 1st gens crushed or is it just me. Ive heard that there is a list of cars that get "special attention" when it comes to smog. Wonder if our beloved Ex is on that list
