Bleah. Failed to get a smog check. The normal smog check place I go do, the sole proprietor took Friday off. The other place (car repair) place wanted to put me in line 1-2 hrs wait, no way... Try again next week. Burnt some time and wasted gas on that. (usually drive a bit before the smog check to make sure engine/etc. all warmed up). #griping #random
@ai6yr Ben I have been using a product called "Guaranteed to Pass" for a while in my 1995 truck engine with 268K miles. Oregon does not have smog checks, but this stuff is designed to clean out your emissions system right before a smog check. It really makes the truck run smoother. If you think you are borderline on the smog check, might give it a try. I find it at Wally World or Napa stores, about $15.
@Av8rdan Interesting! Not too worried (haven't had issues before), but the vehicle doesn't run much since I have been bicycling around more than driving LOL.
@ai6yr Yeah when I lived in Cali pre-2003 I had some pretty raunchy vehicles pass. Anyway, onward.
