Default Car passed emissions.....'again' :-)

Thats the 4th emission test I've had in the 8 years I've owned my car. No problem at all. But I still sh*t myself when theyre doing it. Cleaned out the ISV the other day for smoother idle, 94 oct gas, oil change and ran it hot on the highway before I went.

Default I was so annoyed when they changed to 20 year rule to end with '88...

so now my '88 90q will always have to be etested.

Of course I found another way around it... I moved to Northern Ontario. No more etest... and cheaper plate stickers too!

Ontario (well, Southern Ontario I think?) .... and agreed.. that rule screwed my '88 over too.

Default Yep... Ontario had a 20 year rule...

then they went and changed it so anything '88 or newer will always require an etest.

I was looking forward to the days of no e-testing on my Audi's and VW's... the majority of with are 88's.

Now that changed when I moved to Northern Ontario, where they have no emissions testing rules... but eventually I will move back south.
