I ran mine a while back when they had a different promotion. I finally found out when the major rear quarter damage was inflicted. sad thing was my SC was a new born when it happened 1985, in New Mexico my car was in a accident.

Four major accidents, that cannot be a good thing.

Odemeter rollback from 98k to 94k, that cannot be right, who would go through all that for 4k miles.

Know how great left over pizza, is as you feed dog in the morning?
YOU SO LUCKY!
There's like 3 pizza places in LA, one in San Francisco.
Cheeseteaks is only one.
Where I now live in LA Hills, there are NONE!
When I recently flew back from Philly, I had an extra cheesesteak & hoagie for the flight.
It is only 6 hours!
Peoples mouths were watering on the plane!
They kept kicking themselves they didn't think of the idea, too, as they left Philly International!
I'll keep ya posted on arrival.
Can ya scan & post that smog sticker on your end?

I have my digicamera returning/leaving from Rochester NY today to me in LA, CA by whatever method they choose & timeframe.
I got a scanner, but, too buried for usage & I'm poor at it.
MAY HAVE OPTION tho.

I'll keep ya posted.
