Here in Fort Worth, we're in an emissions-restricted area so vehicles younger than 25 years have to go on a dyno and have an exhaust gas analyzer test during inspection, too. As frustrating as getting my "safety only" inspection stuff done is, getting an older vehicle to pass the smog test can be SOOOO much more frustrating. I spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on emissions-related parts on my last project truck and kept missing the mark on one of the tests (I got the CO down to spec and cut the Nox down by 70% but it still wasn't in spec.). Finally, her 25th birthday rolled around and I had the title amended to show Emissions Exempt. Oh, happy day!!
Now about that horn and wiper situation...
