With the help of some of the great Colorado 914 guys(notably Mike and Chris W) i got my car to pass the e-check. Read about it here.
I thought everything was fine and dandy. With my 5 year collector plates on it I never have to worry about emissions again(bring on the SBC). But in Colorado they have these white child molester looking vans that sit on the highway entrance ramps. They use a laser to measure the emission of all the car entering. I drove by one and got a letter in the mail. Now I have to bring my car to a state inspector for another evaluation or my registration will be revoked and a $100 fine imposed. Their's no way I'm going to pass now, with no Cat an no smog pump. The irony is my car runs better than it ever has. F-U CO |

I'm glad that down here in El Paso county we're not in the stupid AIR program anymore ... however if it comes back I'll have to just sell the Porsche, no way I'm getting it to pass easily or cheaply.
I've already decided that if my fellow Coloradoans are stupid enough to re-elect Ritter, I'm leaving ... you can enjoy your Californicated Colorado without me. I'd start out trying A&PGirl's idea first. QUOTE Disclaimer: i donno nothin' 'bout Colorado... But most collector plate requirements I am aware of exempt you from INSPECTIONS - not requirements, which are a Federal matter and do not change. Nothing "federal" about any of this. The Federal government only sets standards for the manufacturers ... this is all Colorado nonsense. |
