LOL,..Congratulations Chris. 
I had a similar experience at the local DEQ (smog testers). They asked me to pop the hood so I indulged them. After staring at the trunk for a moment, they asked me where the engine was and I leaped out of the car looking forlornly at the spare tire well while exclaiming that it was there just a moment ago as that how I drove in.
The looks on their faces was just priceless,...

At least this time the smog guy didnt look under the drivers door to verify a cat was installed
Thats happened a few times. Best part is when they check-off their checklist verifying the cat is there

Congrats Chris. I have the same sigh of relief when my cars pass. I was especially anxious about the Turbo R. It passed with no problems.
The Modial is due next month. Not really worried ... really, I am not. (Positive thoughts.)

Getting away with it for another year is always cause to celebrate.
I just had my NA '96 smogged and it passsed by a huge margin. I think our cars will usually pass quite easily UNLESS you have a bad code - then the games begin.

Congrats Chris. My parents live in SF so I know what a pain smog can be. Luckily for us in Vancouver, our AirCare program is much friendlier. Laura at Hergesheimer is exceptional...I wish they were local to me.
