Well, after a nice chat with a dude at the DMV two weeks ago, I found out that if I simply let the registration on my Camaro lapse more than one year, I wouldn't have to pass emissions. Conveniently that happened last Wednesday, so it's back on the road again.

Crappy rainshower kinda ruined these pics, but you get the idea:

The good:




...and the mess:


...and the ugly:




Plus the new guages!:


Better pics when it's not pouring rain.

So what now? If you don't buy new tabs and let the registration expire, you don't have to pass emissions? Or if you keep it current you don't have to?

I like your cluster by the way. Autometer ultralites rock.

[aaron_sK]

No, I have tabs. See apparently since you only need to pass emissions every two years, and 2008 is not one of the years my car needs to pass, then I don't need it this year.

I will need to pass again next year, but since the only thing it needs right now is a new cat, it's an easy pass.

Wait, i thought you only had to do emissions if you buy the car from outta state?..

[iansane]

Nice! I don't think I've seen pictures of your 'maro yet! Where've you been? You should roll it by my work sometime. I work tues-sat.

[Dewey316]

Cool! Glad to see another one back on the road!

I'm a counter jockey for now. I had a little incident with Tacoma PD and spent a night in jail. Now I can't drive the truck. But now I make commission! Doesn't change the fact I still give crewbies cost + 10 though. *Merciless plug...*

they jailed you for that?

*similar story without getting caught.
so i pick my sister up at her place and start driving to my house. we go down her long windy street and are crossing a large street when she says " crap i forgot my purse". i check the mirror and there is no one behind me. cross traffic is stopped and there are no police, and the small street i am crossing onto has no traffic. i clear the intersection, and about 3 car lengths later rip the ebrake up to do a hasty 180*. it goes off flawlessly. "shizzle, hello officer" i say as i see that a cop is approaching the intersection facing me in the lane i just left. the street is real windy, so he is oriented 90* to me but he comes around with the street and stops (light had cycled to red). i thought for sure he saw my little stunt. but when it turned green he went through the intersection and continued on. i was one lucky son of a B.

my move was on purpose however. making it much worse.

What year is you car?

Wow Ian. They were probably just jealous of your car since they drive fords and all.

[iansane]

No, I deserved the reckless driving ticket but they're cracking down on stuff like that here in Tacoma and I assume wanted to show me how serious they are with a night in jail. That's okay, I slept through most of it and I didn't even have to post bail because I have no record!

[aaron_sK]

F*n a Ian, that's crazy. Was it just the wreckless driving charge, or did they peg you for something else too?
