Yeah, welll mine didn't  :-( -and I gotta get the '92 expired WA plates (my 
AZ temp runs out tomorrow!) off of it quick or my apt is gonna tow it off ! 
Yikes !!!
I spent last sat in the emissions line - failed miserably even though the car 
runs great and has never had that "icky black patch on the back bumper over 
the tailpipe". I did get an interesting set of tan lines on my legs during 
the 2+ hours in line. <G> pale stripes from the steering wheel - everyone at 
work was wondering what the heck happened to me! (and yes... 2+ hours - I've 
never ever seen such a fiasco!!!!!) <grumble> <hmmmph!>

I do have a Colortune coming - that has always been a my favorite way to tune 
it up. I'll be happy to share when it arrives ! (My old buddy Matt in Tacoma 
Wa sells for 39.95)

PS: still going up to the Pavillions - emissions approval or no ! <G>
