Failed Emissions

I haven't driven the bus much ever since I brought it back from San Diego. This is mostly due to the fact that it has Oregon plates (BUS BOY) and they expired last July. Today, I made an attempt to get Colorado plates. Unfortunately, the ol' bus ("Dadda's Bach" is what Abbie calls it) failed the emissions test. I've got 10 days to get it fixed if I want to avoid paying $15 for another test. I'm considering just letting it sit in the driveway until I start restoring it (sometime this fall). VWs are typically summer rigs because their heaters suck in the Winter. Driving around Denver in 100 degrees today makes me question the logic of driving it in the summer. Maybe I can retro-fit a modern-day air conditioner in into it.

Update: I called up the the local bug shop and they told me to come on down. They fixed 'er right up and I passed. It cost me a mere 12-pack - my kinda joint.

Don't you have friends or family in California? Have them register it there, no smog test for an older car :)

I hope you don't drink Corona Beer! Beer must be preserved in darkness. If beer isn't protected from light you get nasty smelling beer. (Brown bottles slow the process too or you could try Interbrew Beers, They know the secret for keeping beer better when stored in the light!
