Hey all,

This is interesting. I work a block away from the EPA Emissions Testing Lab
in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The cool thing is I get to see all sorts of new
vehicles drive by my office window on their way to get tested waaaaaaay
before they hit the streets ( saw the new Toyota Tundra go in year before
it was on the market, the Cadillac Allante, and others...)

In the past two weeks I have seen a Dodge 1-ton dually 4x4 pickup in 3-color
camo, complete with TACOM markings (centered in Warren, Michigan) driving in
and out of the EPA lab. I haven't seen a Ford yet, but I will Be On the
Lookout.
