>>BTW I lived in Greeley, not to far from Boulder, we always refered to

and we refer to a west wind as "yuck, there's greeley" (it smells just
awful somedays when they do the slaughter)
we've tried tuning it and tuning it but it's still not good enough for the
nature loving (SUV driving) politicians. since the temp tags already ran
out i'm going to get more tomarrow, and just sign the car over to Mom, who
lives in a normal area of town where the wackos aren't in charge. i still
get my collector plates, and my Honda is in her name anyway so it doesn't
really matter.
BTW the horror stories you Pennsylvanians were telling sure makes me wonder
if i really do want to go to school there someday. maybe i'll just commute
from another state!

I like that idea. I had the Midget pass PA Emissions, once, right after I
tuned it by ear with a Weber. Now there is a "look lets see what is
supposed to be there and fail the bastard if it ain't" law. But in
addition there is a "you only gotta spend $400 on it to try to get it
right and then we pass ya" law. So taking it to a place to get it to
pass, and keeping the receipts, and then after it passes, take it back
idea is a good sound plan.
BTW I lived in Greeley, not to far from Boulder, we always refered to
those in Boulder as Flat Heads (a reference to the Flat Irons, just
outside town).
