Well, I had out '66 Austin Healy Sprite smogged last Tuesday, and it passed
with flying colors; well under the limits and onlt slightly higher than the
averages.
Only cost me the test fee -- $35 -- and the certificate fee, but we don't
get certificates any more; the smog check results go straight to the DMV
via modem now.
Last time I had my '72 TR-6 smogged it passed handily too. Of course, I
take care of my cars...
