CA Emissions

will a 1990 texas civic pass california smog?

vin is 2HGED6347LHxxxxxx

anyone know the codes on this?

 

Is there a sticker on the underside of the hood?

 

yes - what am i looking for? it's just got the usual waffle about
hoses, valve lash, etc.

 

If the engine is California certified, it will say quite plainly on that
sticker.

And hey, congratulations: that's likely the original hood you've got on
that car.

 

People Republic of California used to charge democratic
people like you $300 penalty fee for not having "Cali
certified" on your car when you register. That was ruled
illegal, and that they had to refund all those fees.

Anyway, depending on where you register your car, you might
not have to worry. In Socal, we are forced to use "Test
Only" center to test our Civics. We are mandated to pay
extra for the same shit "You Passed". If this is your case,
you shouldn't worry. With smog testing on the dyno, your
lack of an EGR valve on an automatic does not affect the the
smog output. In certain area, you don't need to have smog
check.

Bébé Buffet 1

Show off with whole roasted children replete with apples in mouths -
and babies? heads stuffed with wild rice. Or keep it simple with a
hearty main course such as stew, lasagna, or meat loaf.

Some suggestions

Pre-mie pot pies, beef stew, leg of lamb, stuffed chicken, roast pork spiral ham,
Cranberry pineapple salad, sweet potatoes in butter, vegetable

 

cutlets.
Dredge in flour, eggs, then the bread crumb mixture.
Fry till golden brown in 350° peanut oil.
In a baking pan, place a layer of gravy,
then one of meat, gravy, and cheese.
Another layer each of meat, gravy, and cheese.

Southern Fried Small-fry

Tastes like fried chicken, which works just as well.
In fact you may want to practice cutting up whole chickens
for frying before you go for the real thing.
Whole chicken is much more efficient and inexpensive than buying pieces.

1 tiny human, cut into pieces
2 cups flour
Onion, garlic
Salt
pepper
garlic powder
cayenne pepper
hot sauce, etc.
Oil for frying

Mix milk, eggs, hot sauce in a bowl, add chopped onion and garlic.
Season the meat liberally, and marinate for several hours.
Place seasoned flour in a paper or plastic shopping bag,
drop pieces in a few a time, shake to coat thoroughly,
then deep fry in hot oil (350°) for about 15 minutes.
Drain and place on paper towels.



Miscarriage with Mustard Greens

Why waste it? Otherwise, and in general, use ham or salt pork to season greens.
The technique of smothering greens can be used with many vegetables;
green beans work especially well. Meat is not necessary every day, don?t
be afraid to alter any dish to vegetarian tastes.

1 premature baby, born dead
Large bunch of mustard greens
2 white onions, 1 cup chopped celery
Vegetable oil (or hog fat)
Salt, pepper, garlic, etc.

Lightly brown onions, celery, garlic and meat in large heavy pot.
Add a little water and the greens (which should be thoroughly cleaned and washed).
Smother slowly for at least 2 hours, adding small amounts of water
when it starts to stick.
Stir frequently.
When ready - serve with rice, grilled smoked sausage, green salad, and iced tea.
Coffee and apple pie then brandy.

Hey, cool! I've been spoofed! Somebody who has access to ep.net's nntp
server is forging my name (but forgot to copy my X-Face!).

By the headers, I'm figuring it's probably automated.
