So I just failed Smog because I'd just replaced my battery. I've been told to drive it at highway speeds and then come back and pay the retest fee...
Seriously?? I have to pay again?? I don't even have a MIL on!!
So pissed right now.![]()

So I went and did some reading and apparently u have to drive 200-300 miles on a new battery to complete certain emission monitors? Is this for real?
Here’s one. Don’t know how credible the site is.

That Drive Cycle is intense. IDK where I could even drive like that...
DECELERATE: During this step you want to slowly let off the accelerator pedal. Do not brake or shift your Honda in order to slow down. It is important to let the vehicle coast along gradually slowing down to 20 mph. - Oh yeah, the rest of the folks on the freeway are gonna be real stoked to be behind me coasting to 20mph from 55mph. Not to mention that 55mph is already 10 under the limit.
And it wants you to do all of this from a cold start. I may have to wait until this evening and figure it out. This might throw a wrench in our plans for tomorrow. I mean, I guess we could still do the RSB.
Phew, I'm over here sweating in frustration. I need to chill... I think it may be beer o'clock....![]()

It is always 5 o'clock somewhere else. Beers does sound great for sure ! I'm off in half hour and already have my mind on cold beers right now and it is my Friday.
Yea man at the very least we can do the rsb. And maybe some transmission related stuff on my car.........................
