Well I took the '66 squareback to the inspector on my street. He told me right away that the horn sounded "muffled" (6 volt vw horn -- do they always sound weak, or do I need to fix something?) and that he would fail it. (He also said TWICE that it was a "safety AND EMMISSIONS" inspection. I had asked for a "safety" inspection when I pulled up, he said that, and I then said "It's a 1966 volkswagen" and he [cluelessly] said "safety and emmissions"... To that I replied, "well if you want to measure the CO I'd like you to, because the info would be useful" (for those of you who don't know, '66 and waaay after are exempt in texas). Anyway, I said, in my most cynical voice, "Never mind, I'll go to somebody who's ever seen a volkswagen before" and took off. I'll follow up with a letter explaining how even though I'm a close neighbor with 3 cars, I'll go elsewhere from now on because of the rude staff there..." Another thing that I am legitimately worried about, is that when I pull the headlight switch to the "parking light" position, the front amber lights come on but when I put the headlights on, the amber lights go off (headlights do work) Is this wrong? I believe it must be. What's broken? (The expensive 6v headlight relay?) Remember -the lights do work at 1/2way out on the switch. Ok, well, thanks. -- g-r-a-t-e-f-u-l-l-y---[ email:<fishbowl@conservatory.com> ]---l-i-v-i-n-g d-e-a-d-i-c-a-t-e-d---[ http://www.conservatory.com/ ]-----l-i-g-h-t Nietzsche is pietzsche, but Schiller is killer, and Goethe is moethe.
