^^ not true, even if it is off the car can show up too 1 readiness code that is not ready. In other words if it has been cleared in a previous "drive cycle" and the catalyst has not been reset yet then the light will not come on but the computer will just come up as not ready, like when it kinda knows it being tricked. Just pretty much saying like, well you dont have a light on but drive the car 30-150 miles and try it again to make sure it isnt being tricked

+2 on the bimmer photo shoot! You free next weekend??

I actually put my wheels on this weekend, but the 225/40's that I have on the front were a little too wide/tall because that beach is so slammed in the front. I'm waiting on 215/35's to come in middle of this week.
