I think you have that backwards...
At the last Equipe Rapide event last weekend in Miami, Fl, I was talking
to Peter Shadowen, a local VW Mechanic who owns his own repair shop.
The letter he got from the DOT said they were LOOKING to do away with
emissions on cars 2 years and YOUNGER! You would not have to start
emissions testing unless your car is over 2 years old.
But, now look at this:

Its completely gone! No more swapping the cats back on the ESP Mustang
for my Birthday.
Looks like his lordship, Gov. Jeb Bush, has removed the entire setup.
Back to lurking mode,
Carl
