[s-cars] 97 urS6 question

[calvinlc at earthlink.net]

Hmmm...Well if this doesn't work you could stealthily remove it and ask OBD
What? when you went for inspection.  Sometimes it's better to have something
that they can't possibly begin to comprehend rather than something that
looks like it should work but doesn't.

Thanks for all your input, and the welcoming. Oddly enough, I called an audi
dealership in Nashville, TN this morning and they said it was cost about
$5,000 to put in an OBD II system...and then I called an audi dealership in
Boston, where I¹m from, and they said, ³no problem, just stop by and we¹ll
slap an inspection sticker on your car in a second. We know you and your
car, it¹s in mint condition, and we have an OBD converter that we can use,
so it¹ll surely pass emissions.² Too bad I called about everyone else on the
planet before them. Anyway, all is well now....it¹s time for some fun
upgrades.

Regards,
Henry
