Too much hot air

Today I failed Boulder's Emissions Test; rather, my Subaru Legacy 2000 did. And I was shocked at the in-my-face reality when it came to revealing all at the inspection.

The last time I took an emissions test was in Baltimore in the early '70s. My boyfriend was a fishing buddy of the guy who did the tests and so my rust-bucket 1969 Saab station wagon got its decal of approval.

But in today's Inspection Station? when they put your wheels on those rollers and hook you up to the gasometer it's all right there in the computo-charts.

Re-check that cat converter.
