Yes, somehow — as if by magic, and surely not by driving an unregistered car – my Mustang Cobra accrued the mileage required to overcome the idiotic DEQ computer code and has passed Virginia emissions testing. It is now street-legal. And I am ready to turn it loose, all 390 horsepower, six speeds and wide, low-profile tires. Now all I need to do is win the SueBee honey contest. The prize is a street-legal version of Richard Petty’s “Superbird.” Beau and Luke Duke? Amateurs. Unranked amateurs.
