Speaking of those dirty little rascals at DMV I just re-upped my registration. I'm due for an emissions test by July 27.

This means that I've got until then to try to make most of my soft codes go away.

Is there a list anywhere of what codes will cause a vehicle to fail in CT?

I thought that just even having a check engine light on would be an automatic fail? Maybe I'm wrong, try calling an emissions station.

I have to get to work getting my collectors plates so that I am exempt from those pesky emissions

On a positive note, I passed my second of 4 tests tonight, officially passing the class with an 82. Not as good as I would have liked, but i'll take it. Now I have the state practical test, and the national registry tests left to do.

Miles, the truck looks really good. Huge improvement over the way you got it. The best part is that they were such simple things, and nothing crazy expensive. Nice work.

Wow miss one day and I missed two pages

Aaron Great news for the missus!!

Nice tires Miles, I thought the blue letters matched the truck nicely!

I'm with Pete with the bicycle, got my license and forgot I owned a bike. Lost my license and had to buy a Huffy, dagnabit!

Josiah I think the antique plates are just cheaper registrations but with limits of when you can drive the vehicle, not that they are enforced. Besides the vehicle has to be 20 years old to get one, emissions disappears after 25.
I usually go to the dmv a half hour before they close. If you make it in the doors they have to serve you, so all the windows are open and manned to get the people out ASAP.

Good morning guys.
A cool TGIF, I have 45*
Emissions are a no go for commercial plates, but I do have to do my reg every year.
Pete I thought that if you were over 10k you did not have to do emissions ?

I hope everyone has a great weekend, enjoy
