And Sblake, where did you get your portable exhaust analyzer? how much was it?

Well, that's another one of my unbelievable finds. I paid 20 bucks for it at a yard sale. It was virtually brand new in that it had never been used and had all of the documentation. It's called a Gunson Gastester. Search it out on the internet and you'll find that they are about $200 new.

No test needed in Ohio after 25 years! Mine passes anyway.

California used to be like that until the Governator took office.

Yet another reason to live in the southeast! Thanks to my military status, no matter where I live my vehicle will always be registered in South Carolina... which doesn't even have inspections.

To you fellas that live in the areas that do... Do any of those "miracles in a bottle" found in auto parts stores help at all? You know, those ones that say that they will or will help you pass smog inspections?

Never tried 'em.
