    60 miles it should have run and cleared, unless you did 60 miles via a lot of small trips where you turned the car off... I'm just glad I'm done dealing with that crap every day. I had one of the local parts delivery drivers bring a car they were selling in for a inspection. He seriously had a 1/2 ratchet strap holding the gas tank up. Gave me a 3 star google review on top of being upset that I wouldn't pass it lol.

    LMAO you do vehicle inspections? So uhhh, if a $20 dollar bill just so happens to fly in with the breeze and land at your feet, would it make you forget about my dark window tint :D

    I did a 45 mile trip one way to be more exact; I know I got screwed on the car but I really like it, plan on just learning everything I can with it and at least there’s hundreds just like it for spare parts out there; hell they got one on the way to my sisters where I stay for cadet school that’s just sitting around looking like it’s for sale

    That’s a pretty good quote I must admit; you must’ve come up with that one while sitting in your leather chair dressed up in your silk pajamas enjoying a cigar and glass of vintage cognac

    Did, past tense. The only part I miss is being able to sticker my personal vehicles. Haven't got a new inspection sticker on any of my trailers since I closed lol. Window tint isn't a fail item in PA. You could have it all limo black for all I cared (police can still ticket for it though, it's just not inspection station's job to police). With exception of the body rust rules (that have been relaxed a little since I closed up shop), it was pretty much common sense pass/fails.

    Welcome to a triton, techron whatever modular Dorf. The cars and trucks were great, engines not so much. Good luck, lube the threads.

    That’s the best way to learn if you’re into working on cars.

    I think you might have a vacuum leak. Either that or you have an O2 sensor reading wrong.

    Does the exhaust smell a lot like raw gas?

    I'm spit balling but is about 1/2 of a main engine overhaul if it idled every night.

    Just because its new technology, don't mean its better. Hybrid, electric vehicles and 9 mpg semis still have zero financial value to me. Yet.
