Hi Cathy,

Yeah, we have that here too...

In Missouri, if you live in/near Kansas city Or St. Louis, we are a
federal enhanced emissions area. You get to go to the state mandated
roller dyno, and if you spent the 2 c notes you are allowed to pollute
another 2 years.

After that ordeal, we get to take our cars to the local mechanic for an
inspection, and he trys to fail you because then maybe he gets to sell you
a $5 part & 1/2 hour labor for $150. 

At least out of the city they only make you go through the "safety" part.

Indeed, a money grab and power trip for somebody. 

take care,

Steve
