That said, there are others, like me, who started out life as
described above, but who now enjoy keeping their aged clunkers on the
road at minimal annual expense. When you grow older, there is no
challenge at all in purchasing a factory fresh car from a dealer
showroom. Still, there is much greater satisfaction for a physicist
like me in keeping an old 25-year clunker on the road, and be able to
pass yearly safety and bi-annual emissions inspection here in
Massachusetts.

Hi Harry!
I am from Mass also.
Don't you love the Mass bologna about the check engine light can't
even have been triggered now if you want the emission passed?

I got a reject sticker on my 96 Camaro Z28 and because I had
made a few bucks as a self employed mechanic for 23 yrs I just
took it to my uncles car dealership since I am now very lazy.
Turned out to be an EGR valve and solonoid.
Under the older emission standards ,(no worry about check engine light)
It would have passed emissions easy.
:)

anyways,
what you say about college kids in US is 100% true,
They were the only customers I hardly ever saw during the
23 yrs.
(although I would get a call to help them out once in a while
on the side of the street with 2 tires on the sidewalk for a "lift".)
