Going to my nice little pharmacy today to pick up a bunch of medication. It's the first time I'll actually set foot in the pharmacy. Prior to this it was curbside pick-up or delivery. It'll feel strange walking into the pharmacy after a year of not doing so.

Hi BethRags. My husband's old Subaru used to pass emissions tests every time, despite its age. His secrets? Products called "Motor Honey" (used to be "Engine Honey"), "Guaranteed to Pass Emissions Test Formula", and/or "Smoke No More". He would use them a couple hundred miles before going to DMV. He bought these products online, usually from Amazon. I'm sure DMV wouldn't like it, but...Um...Sometimes ya gotta do, what ya gotta do when you're not quite ready to buy a new car.
Maybe California's emissions tests are stricter than New Jersey's. I lived in CA for a couple years, ages ago, but never owned a car there. In Berkeley, there was no need.
