Cool ... congratulations!

So you name the SEC "Maxine". Time to update your signature.

No, Maxine is Mistress's 420SEL. She has been fretting and worrying about whether Maxine was going to pass, so this is a red letter day. I just thought I'd steal her thunder before she gets here.

My SEC is still nameless.

Cool. Congrats from us as well.

Not something we worry too much about here, driving diesel MBs and Hondas.

I have heard some horror stories though.


Have a great (and safe) GTG this Saturday.

Oops…Just read #3.
Congrats to Mistress, and congrats to you for stealing her thunder.
(That was actually pretty cold, btw.)

So, how’s the weather looking up there for the weekend? Will she finally solo ??

Awesome! Do they perform a visual inspection also at that point?

They check everything. I was told mine didn't pass because of the shocks as well as the holes inthe exhaust system. I cleaned the seepage off the shocks and cut out the resonators that had holes in them and welded new pipe in from the cats to the inlet on the muffler. That was good enough to pass, but what a pain!
