As someone who lives in a state that got rid of emissions testing before I could drive it sounds like a horrifying thing to have to deal with.

Why is it horrifying? I've taken cars in for testing for years. It's pretty quick and painless.

  • My car wouldn't pass, not because it can't pass the emissions test, but because the original equipment that California requires by law failed years ago and replacements are not available. So I would be forced to get rid of my perfectly good car and buy an expensive new one not because it doesn't work, but because the law strictly requires original equipment.

  • Was going to say, you only hear stories from the relatively few people who have issues, not the people who go in and out as usual.
