smog at 183k miles
Passed with flying colors... it actually took me longer to put the stock intake back on than it did for the smog tech to give me the thumbs up. I guess I was expecting at least something to be concerned about with the high miles but it passed as if it just rolled out the factory. No major work just preventative updates and regular maintenance.
Once I got the owner to soften up a little I found out he was a major Lexus freak. He went on and on about how many makes come through his shop with issues... and that toyota/lexus are the best cars on the road. I tested his loyalty and said that I was really into the Challenger SRT8 and was thinking about jumping ship... his look was basically a slap with baby powder and then he said they are good for old men who lost their wives to the neighbor lol.
Random thread... but I thought it was cool that my 07 with 183k passed smog without any concerns... and a shop owner and his technician both praised Toyota/Lexus after 30 years in the automotive field over any other make. Prob one of the few times me saying a 2006 LS430 is my dream car and they other person understood why.

To echo you guys yes it was very cool to know smog is worry free in high miles... reassuring for us.
I do like the Challenger but we need space on the next purchase. I truly don't have much for mods it's all suspension stuff and just some lights. I drive my cars a lot though... I commute 5 days a week 80 miles round trip and also weekends. Was just expecting a sensor to replace or a leak or just something that needs to be updated sooooon. Now that I'm in the clear for 2 years I'm considering some headers and piping though ^_^ the lungs are still 100% stock.
