Nice.
You've probably already gotten your test, but you can get what they call a "pretest" which tests the car without communicating to the state's computer...that way if your car is failing, it's not on record as such. Of course, if it's passing, the smog guy just reamed you for an extra $30...
In some cities, Autozone will scan your code for you at no charge. I don't know if they will clear a code for you.
There have been several good threads on selecting an OBD-II scanner. First, check here in the 80-section, then in Outfitting. I believe there have been threads in both sections. The posts cover the pros and cons of the cheap units and various features you may want in a scanner if you intend to use it as a diagnostic tool as opposed to just something to clear your codes.
Some will work with your laptop or a PDA. My advice is to get informed on what is available before making your decision, then select the tool based on price and features that interest you.

I have been reading posts about scanners. I think if I get one it'll be for a laptop and used for diagnosis. I like to do my own work and know how my vehicles are running. Just gotta decide which tool to go with.
BTW: I did test Friday and passed.
