Where in the world do you live that you have to go through all this
B**l S**t?  Makes me gladi live in PA, where they defeated this
dynamic emission test procedure.

 With my temporary license tag expiring today, I headed off to the
 emissions test facility and line up in the 'fulltime 4wd lane'. When
 it's my turn, the 'emissions tech' comes and gets my regitstration
 card...

 I turn on the ignition and he sees the OXS light and is satisfied. Good
 thing I moved the bulb from the heated seat socket, where I had first
 placed it. He then opens the hood, scans around, finds the O2 sensor
 and then returns to my door ...
 
 I pull the car up into the building and head off to the waiting room. He
 checks the fuel filler neck and then scans under the car for the catalytic
 converter. Another jockey then drives the car onto the rollers and the
 exhaust gas sampling tubes are attached. I take my place in front of the
 road speed display monitor. As I am watching, the guy starts the test and
 takes car to ~5500 rpm in first with WOT and then shifts to 2nd and then
 takes it up to ~5000 rpm with WOT. I look at the road speed and it says
 a little over 40 mph. Then the screen changes and the 'fast pass'
 message is displayed. My car has passed the test.
