This converstion is similar to the one I had that ended 7 years of the 78
Midget on the road. I had regular plates, but failed the emmisions test.
I had a safty inspection but no money to get the emmissons up to snuff
when I moved to PA in 1990. After driving the car for about 6 months, I
was stopped at a light and a local officer stopped next to me and stated
he had seen the car being driven and didn't want to see it again unless
it had the proper inspection stickers. I ran it over to the shop again,
it failed again. No money - parked. Left in parking lot and various
locations for 6 years. Then a dedicated effort to get it running. Now it
passes both safety and emmisions. Or safety and less than 5000 miles per
year.
