Emissions inspection

[greg.rocco at gmail.com (Greg Pallett)]

Well, I finally did it. Took the time (remembered) to go ahve my car "smog 
checked" so I could renew my tags. Interestingly, they couldn't do the 
standard roller/treadmill test - my car is too low, the whel restraints 
might crack a wheel if the car bucked while in the test. So they just did 
the 2 minute idle test. The hydrovarbons were (test/inspection) 220ppm 
permissible, 20ppm tested. CO 1.20pct permisible, 0.00 tested. CO2,
6.0permissible,
14.50 tested - but that's still a pass - maybe in MD it's 2 out of 3?
Now I have legal tags, and am not such a nervous driver anymore, scanning 
for police everywhere. I'm ready to drive the dang car to H2o in September.
I don't have any reason to haev thought my car wouldn't have passed, but 
then, it's 21 years old with custom exhaust and motor work... so I was 
nervous.
 Thanks for reading my story!
 Greg
