I hope this never happens in the USA

We have just a CEL test here in NH. If you dont have a code stored that throws a CEL, you will pass the test. And that is ONLY on 96 or newer cars.

[NickS VR4]

In NJ, '95 and older is only a visual cat check, and sniffer test.
96+ is no CEL, no pending emissions codes, and visual cat check.

saw a hearing a few years ago when a senator wanted to ban all cars 25 years old and when asked about guys who have older cars they take to car shows and cruiseins he said they can use a trailer

I can see it happening in certain cities, but certainly not the entire US. In TX, they have legislation that if your car is over 25 years old, you don't even have to do emissions testing anymore.

can you believe that?! in nicholasville kentucky, they have this law that if your car runs, you dont have to do an emission test. crazy!

but srsly, some places will take a long time to change. i doubt the entire US will get affected all at once if something like that did happen

I doubt SEMA would let this happen

Emissions testing? Whats that?

If Michigan were not - by happenstance - the auto manufacturing capital of the US, it would be at the forefront of the movement towards automotive obsolescence, because this state is stupid-lib-green by every other inclination.

[HilbillyHomeboy]

Never happen, not in France, and not here. France would provide subsidies for people to buy newer cars? WITH WHAT? Last I checked Europe is broke.

sounds like the same BS logic that the left has about guns.

Nah man, just look at Greece. It's an economic utopia.

My car failed PA emissions... If you spend $150 or more on parts (and labor at a qualified service station) trying to make it pass and it fails the second time (one free re-test) you get a sticker that says your emissions were waived and you're on your way.

This is just some politician exercising his right to be an incompetent tool.

Emissions testing? Whats that?

Sounds like extortion

Nah man, just look at Greece. It's an economic utopia.

I keep getting told the economy here is pretty damn good also. ha ha
