Well I'm driving back to work from lunch and the car makes this nasty squealing noise. Well the air pump had gone out. Called and was told I HAD to have it fixed for emissions regulations. Hehehehe. Called down to Garner and waalaa. Pulley rigged in place of air pump, no smog pump. Saved about $300 for parts and installation. Who cares if it's regulation, it works and was recommended by a speedshop that's done it before with no problemsCitizen billbears,

(1) pair of Birkenstocks
(1) complete set of Grateful Dead recordings
(1) vegetarian cookbook.
Your compliance in this matter is appreciated!
PEACE!
LOL!! I have no idea what you're talking about. And as for that hybrid well, you better take it back to Chapel Hill. When emissions tests come, apparently you can tweak the mix so the car will run lean and then crank it back up after the test. It does work but I don't worry about it that much. I only go to those after I receive a couple of threatening letters every few years from the DMV.
