  1. I just got my 2005LGT wagon smog checked last weekend. I was on TDC Stage 1, but reflashed to stock a few months ago. The tech hooked up the ODBII, ran through the test sequence, and the test machine gave it a compete Pass. The tech also ran a visual inspection on the engine, verified the headlights are in working order, tested the gas tank for leaks, and checked tire pressure, and engine oil level.
  2. I experienced the tail wagging problem on my 2005 LGT wagon a couple weeks ago. The wagon has Michelin Pilot Sport tires and was lightly loaded with one passenger, 2 snowboard and ski jackets. The highway has been plowed and was completely dry. The temperature was around 20deg. Every car/truck was going at the speed limit of 55mph.

    As I was approaching an overpass, I noticed a patch of ice spanning the width of the road directly under a bridge. The road section was perfectly straight, so I reduced the throttle slightly to let the car ride over the ice. The car was composed as the front wheels moved onto the ice. When all four wheels were on the ice patch, the rear started swinging in a left and right motion with the pivot point at the engine compartment. When the car moved back to dry pavement, it regained composure immediately.

    At no point did it felt like the tail end was going to spin around but it was disconcerting.
