How often does your type of vehicle fail smog tests? See answer here | The Sacramento Bee

This one line makes this entire story a non-story.

I would be fascinated to know exactly why the vehicles fail because it speaks specifically to a vehicle I drive (even though we don't have emissions testing where my car is registered, so it's even more a non-story as far as I'm concerned). Is there another database that calls out that information?
