Link please, I can't find anything on this.  Anyway, in Seattle vehicles
over 25 years old are exempt.  Are you saying EPA is going to change that?
I always had to take my '84 to a test site that had a guy in a van next door
who guaranteed passing. Every two years I'd go through and fail on HC, and
he'd put it on his Sun tester, usually doing nothing more than maxing out
the idle, and then he drove it through and it passed.  Paid him $35 and he'd
crank the idle back down.  Hmmm, I wonder how much he paid the tester.

'85 Westy--now exempt, and in three years I can get a free collector vehicle
plate (or nearly free, one time $45 fee)!!

Did anyone note the announcement on Tuesday that the EPA won it's last case
which will now allow them to absolutely dictate what happens with our
beloved Vanagons - by way of emission control? It's gonna be interesting
times ahead.
