This sounds like BS.  I don't remember anything about that in the ORIGINAL

legislation.  I can't find the copy I kept (I did keep a copy didn't I?).

So all this really means all this fight was almost for nothing?  I guess

for my own clarification, I need to know what the "drive-by" test is.  



But how is it, you can exempt a car from emission testing but still have it

subject to emissions testing?  Is this what you call and Oxy MORON?
