Failed SMOG

Doug took his 4Runner in to have the smog test to register it and failed it. CRAPPY!!!! We only hope he can get it fixed without spending a small fortune, which has already cost us a few hundred dollars for parts. Doug has already done quite a bit of the work, but still needs to get it into a shop to have a new catalytic converter welded on. After all the repairs and tune up stuff is done we have to hold our breath and pray it will pass. My step-dad told us to make sure we run a pre-test, which he pointed out we should have done in the first place. Well, ya learn as ya go. If it won't pass with all the repairs we will probably have to let California pay us to "early retire" Doug's 4Runner. I don't know what we'll do if that happens.

Yikes I have to smog my car as well. I hope it passes too or else we're gonna be in trouble. :(

Find a place that will run a PRE test, they'll run the test without putting all your info in so it won't send it to DMV.

I hate smog testing. I have had way too many junk cars in the past that NEVER passed. It's enough to drive ya crazy!!!
