Here in NY state, cars older than 1995 do not have to pass smog

Could that change? I dont think so. The current emissions test is
performed by
computer, not a sensor on the tail pipe. Cars older than 95 dont have the
ability.

Not that it's all that pertinent to the discussion, but the cutoff year in
New York is 1996 and newer, not 1995. I verified that again this morning as
I had my '95 Mercury Mystique inspected. One of the mechanics at the shop
commented on the rough running and how it could be a problem for the
inspection (bad spark plug or lead, I think, and a tiny exhaust leak -- and
I'll
get to all that RealSoonNow), but another reminded the first that the car
was a '95, so no smog.
