MIke:
That's pretty interesting stuff. Typical ignorance on her part, though.
I've never had anyone look under the hood or under the chassis either
during a state inspection. All they do is turn the lights on and off, run
the turn signals, make sure the back-up lights come on and the truck
stops when they mash the brakes.
Maybe this is something new for Houston since it now the *smogiest* city
in the USA. :^P
