State Inspections

[scirocco at powerlink.net (John C. Worden)]

Move to northern Maine, no emissions, and at *normal* shops(not the chain

lights, horn and wipers.  That's it.  I've also gotten that "I didn't hear 
you pull in so the exhaust
must be good" comment.

John C. Worden  Off to continue work on my Scirocco rotisserie, hope those 
casters show up soon
