Thanks Richard, I was not sure if the laptop changed anything. The nature of conversing this way.
Ours you have to do a new to you car in person and the rest is electronic.
When I moved to CA I had to take the Cobra to a "special" smog inspection station in Oceanside, a 2.5 hour drive without traffic. Add in San Diego rush hour and it is a long time to sit in a small, hot car. Except for the marine layer, which was a little cool but then left me hot and wet headed up the coast. Long story short: What a screwed up mess to find out it was smog exempt.
