Every two years I have to get a smog check and every two years I start to worry. I have an older model Honda Accord LX. It’s a real gold digger deterrent, no looks, no glory, which is okay by me.
I’m not sure why I worry. I think it has to do with dealing with the government. At worst it will cost me time, energy and money. But I still worry.
I’ve waited to the last minute to take care of it this year. I bought a cleansing additive to insure my every chance of passing. The additive requires that you fill your tank up with gas before you add the solution. The solution is supposed to clean your engine of smut while you drive, which in theory gives you a better chance of passing the test. My deadline for the test is Wednesday. Today is Sunday. I’m driving more than usual to use up the gas so I can refill the tank and take the test. It’s very logical I can assure you.
I offered to drive to a fundraiser last night and I offered to drive my lady friend to the gym this morning. I drove to a restaurant for lunch. I can’t get rid of the gas fast enough. I’m not sure I can use it all by Wednesday. The gas needle has barely budged. It’s an odd set of circumstances, I know, especially because I’m use to driving on empty.
