Default Low miles exemption on state inspection???

Has anyone used this? I very rarely drive my car and I'm pretty sure with the mods I have it won't pass a standard emissions test in Houston. I was looking at their website and it says that you can get be exempt if you drive the car less than 5000 miles a year. Just wondering if anyone has used this. I might give it a shot.

"Low Mileage Waiver
There is a low mileage exemption for motorists who drive less than 5000 miles/year. To qualify for this exemption you must:

1. Fail both the initial test and free retest
2. Incur $100 of emissions related repairs
3. Drive less than 5,000 miles/year

If you meet these qualifications then you would qualify for the low mileage waiver. You can go to the DPS challenge station in your area for more information on the forms to complete. "

interesting idea.

will have to find out what/where a 'DPS challange station' is.

I'll be visiting a DPS office here in the next month or so to renew my state ID card, and will ask them then what/where one of these are located.
