Default Emissions!

Off to the emissions test in the Vette today. Hopefully It'll pass with the engine light on (but covered, there's an ECU problem, no problems with the car). Hopefully they put it on the rollers like they did last time too, made the whole building echo with small block V8 noise.

In Arizona a car won't pass without a check engine lamp working properly, and then won't pass if it doesn't go out after start, no matter what the sniffer says.

Fortunately they really don't care here in Maryland. Took a mirror around underneath, stuck some device on the gas cap, stuck a sniffer in, and had it rev at 2500 rpm for a bit. Got a couple heads from the other bays turning to see what all that noise was. Fortunately, she passed.
