The main thing that makes owning '96-98 US cars a PIA is the legal environment wrt annual inspections, some jurisdictions are far more strict wrt compliance w/ the Clean air regs than others, Ca among others comes to mind.
In my section of NYS all '96 and newer cars are plugged into a DMV owned computer, all codes are reported directly to the state and any one of them is reason to fail and then spend $ to repair said code, and no you can't just clear the codes, as all the readiness flags have to be set which is an involved process all in itself for most owners.
