[DML] Illinois Emission Testing

[wingd2@xxxxxxx]

   I just finished taking my Delorean in for Illinois emissions testing today 
and found out some interesting information. I was talking with the test 
center manager about our cars turning 25 years old and was asking him if there was 
any sort of exemption in Illinois for older cars. He informed me that we no 
longer have a problem because the state just passed a new emissions law that 
changed the requirements for testing. He said the new law, which would go into 
effect next year, will only require OBD cars 1996 and newer to be tested. He 
said the state finally figured out the cost of dyno testing cars far outweighed 
the benefits they were getting. So starting next year they will only be testing 
cars that they can just plug into the dash OBD connection and download info 
from.
   Oh, and my BAE single turbo D passed the Illinois dyno emission test for 
the sixth (and last) time with no problems. Which shows you can make power and 
keep it clean at the same time.
