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 |

Here's a thought...
Why not call the number and explain that the car is a 1976 model year vehicle with collector plates? That may end the situation. Especially given the fact that I'm pretty sure the limits listed in that letter are *more* restrictive than the limits for a 1988 Jeep Cherokee, let alone a 1976 model year vehicle. |
