My last car was a 2001 Sable. I bought it from a friend with maybe 125,000 on it. My daughter then drove it for a few years and my son has it now. It’s pushing 200,000. He’s at college so it’s parked most of the time. Engine light is on and the Communist paradise of Maryland is forcing a completely useless emission test on it, so I think I’m due to pull out my credit card to get it fixed.
My Volvo has its “engine” light on, never thought a thing about it till emissions inspection time. Mechanic said anything newer than a ‘96 can’t be tested with the engine light on or it automatically fails. Wish it were a ‘95 :(
(on that score, don’t think VA is any better than MD)
