I'm thinking it's because your population is largely concentrated in Calgary and Edmonton, and that the whole province numbers 3 to 4 million (w/o looking it up). Even then, Calgary and Edmonton feel fairly "spacious." I wonder if they test emissions in Ontario (specifically Toronto). I'm only torqued about the Nox component. Evidently, a lot of cars run higher in this area. On the other components (seemingly common to all states), it runs super clean. This causes me to shake my head. At any rate, I only see my car going through one more emissions testing cycle as it is nearing 270,000 miles.

Cordoba/Charger(on the Cordoba platform)... this question was a "reach" for me, since I really only miss Oldsmobile and Pontiac...

Happy birthday (I'm just waking up).

Thanks for the advice! A couple of things: - it never really ran hot, but since I put in a new radiator last year, it runs REALLY cool...maybe that will be good - since I'm not getting any lights, I'm going to try to hold off on the O2 sensor - wow...so the high NJ taxes get some free perks...here, the inspections are at private places that are state approved A few questions: - I had an O2 sensor done about 50,000 miles ago...do you believe in routinely changing these even without the OBD amber signal? - should you run the F.I. cleaner in the tank BEFORE the inspection or DURING the inspection? Together with 89, instead of 87, octane? Thanks!

Ok, I have the Regal with the 3800 V6 Series I 1992 that now has original mileage in the high 200,000s. Incidentally, they have no EGR valves. I will soon have to go get its emissions test to renew the tags. Here's the deal. In most states that I've lived in and in which the car has been registered, they test 4 emissions components (HC, CO, CO2 and O2). In California, they add NO (nitrogen or nitrous?). At any rate, the car has performed fantastically on the first 4 components...extremely clean and changed minimally over the years. However, it's not as clean on the N.O., though it has always passed. I heard that this is common: cars run clean on all the others and a little dirtier, or closer to the limit, in the N.O. department. It's been 2 years and I'm wondering how it will go. What I've heard/read is: 1 - you can tweak the timing...but these cars don't take timing adjustments, everything is sealed, and I'm not a techy 2 - run a bottle of fuel injector cleaner of a good brand (Techron) in the tank before or during its test 3 - consider bumping up from low-grade to mid-grade unleaded Any ideas on whether this is fact or fiction? If it's true, what's the logic behind this recommendation? Any help is appreciated.

I was thinking about this again last night while I walked back to my car after picking up some groceries at Safeway. I saw a beautiful silver/black 17 inch alloy 2006-7 Monte Carlo LT. It drove off and I saw some of its good angles. I thought to myself, had there been a little more "nip and tuck" to the styling update and had there been a 3800 V6 under the hood, I would have bought one...without a doubt. I still like my Buicks very much, but I know how much I like the coupe with bigger doors, buckets, a console and more of a wrap-around driver's environment. So I say "coupe"...even though I like sedans, though not as much. Your take?

pool (swimming, not table)

People kayak in Puget Sound, right in front of the Seattle-Tacoma-Everett area. Pods of orcas are commonplace there. I would never kayak in Puget Sound. I have also stopped swimming in salt water, with few exceptions. I used to swim way out in Pensacola, to where one's feet can't touch. Then, that area of the Florida coast had a lot of "problems." I then decided that I wouldn't be swimming there anymore.

Dolphin shows are good enough.
