is it true that if your car is too low, they won't even try because they are afraid they would damage your car? I hear this a lot, just wondering if there is any truth to this.

afaik these guys only really TARGET older cars, or anything they can see may be in some state of disrepair and therefore more likely to be a gross polluter.
generally (GENERALLY) speaking, they dont target enthusiasts as other than gross performance modifications (which tbh, percentage-wise most guys are not that likely to have) most enthusiasts keep their vehicles well maintained.

They had one in Cerritos some months back. I noticed they were checking older vehicles. Early 90's Camry, late 80's Mustang, 70's Corvette...pretty much anything 15 years old and newer was waved through. Although one lady driving an LS460 got cited for talking on a cell phone. 
LOL...
