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 gotta wonder about the accuracy of these things as well.
If this roadside truck is good enough, than why should we have to take half a day off work to take the car down to some Jiffy Lube where some high school dropout can put grease stains on the carpet when all we should have to do is whiz by one of these trucks at 60mph and get our reading instantly? Another thought on this ... most of us here keep our 914s as toys. What if you relied on an old car to get to work every day?
