Thats funny you asked that, living in the southwest for the last 40 some years the spanish language has been burned into my brain (even though I can't really speak it). When we were in Paris and one who believes in attempting to speak in the native language I consistently kept saying 'Si' when asked a question.

No special plans, but I just received my renewal license for the vette and it says I need a smog check. So that will be what I'm doing tomorrow. Cost for license renewal: $135. The smog certificate will probably cost me $50+. Last time it passed with no problems.

We have smog checks every other year up here too, but I guess I'm off the radar now-my heap is too old for the checks. (25 + years are exempt). Mixed feelings-Nice to be free but my baby's gettin' old!

Well, I've been to Port Aransas (long time ago) but luckily never met the wee wee guy.

Good for another 2 years:
HC (PPM) @15mph MAX:52 AVG: 9 MEAS:12@ 25mph MAX:36 AVG: 6 MEAS: 6CO(%) @15mph MAX:0.49 AVG:0.03 MEAS:0.01@25mph MAX:0.47 AVG:0.03 MEAS:0.00NO(ppm) @15mph MAX:424 AVG:67 MEAS:0.0199@25mph MAX:711 AVG:62 MEAS:0107Since she is approaching 100,000 miles, I probably should pull one of the spark plugs to see what they might look like. I have no idea there condition. I bought the car used 3 years ago, and they have never been looked at. Good news is I still get 30+ mph going 70-80 on the freeways, and about 23-26 mpg going to work with stop lights along the way. |

Ghost's registration is due in July and I haven't receive my DMV notice yet. It is the smog year for it as well. The Ghost is pushing the envelope I got to ensure those cats are extremely hot.

I noticed your upper NOx limit for 25mph was 711. Must be the zip code you live in...either that or they started loosening limits just a touch. My last check was tighter numbers than that...both around 400-500 ppm NOx.
you may have mixed the numbers up, the lower speeds usually produce more oxides of nitrogen.??? |

I really feel sorry for you guys having to do that emissions crap every year or 2... I take my Vette down to the local repair shop , they look at my Vette, check the lights, hit the horn ,then slap a sticker on the windshield and Im on my merry way till next year..The whole process takes about 5 minites and costs $12.00.. ...WW
