I like the way CT does it.

1997 and older vehicles, IE pre OBD2 have to be run and tailpipe emissions checked etc.

1997 and newer just need to be hooked up to a scanner and pass if no codes are found.

After 25 years vehicles are exempt from emissions.

So by default in 2022 their won't be anymore emissions anyway, just a fast plug and scan.

If you don't go you cannot renew your registration. If you do go lots of shops can do it, and its $20 and fast.

I like it, it keeps the worst offenders off the road or at least running at an acceptable level.

Yes, it does sound like there's at least some common sense involved with this one.

Annoy a Liberal, Read the Constitution

I was in Santa Fe last year and went to Home Depot. While walking across the parking lot my nose was hit by an old smell that I had to stop and think about.

Then I looked up and saw a 1966 Chevy pickup going by and realized the smell was unburned gas. It was weird that it stood out like that, but Santa Fe is somewhat out there by itself, and the Home Depot is on the edge of town, so the air is really clean.

I finally figured out the smell reminded me of Downtown Dallas in the 60's when there were out of tune cars everywhere.

While smog checks are a hassle I would not want to go back to the good old days of smog belching autos.

Nope, and at least now what they seem to catch are oil burners that soot up the cat's and O2 sensors and stink.

At least in my state you can't pass if you have CE light, so that forces people to fix or junk the vehicle.

Planned obsolescence... or auto industry's guarenteed revenue stream... or both?

It's a car not a science experiment! Open the throttle!

That probably still won't help owners of late-model MB. Thanks to MB's cheapness with the cats, and people removing/gutting them, more and more of the 170/171/202/203/208/210/220 chassis have a special designation (I think it's gross polluter, lumped in with the true gross polluters). I now am required to go to one of the special certification stations on an annual basis, and since those stations charge more than the generic ones I end up paying about three times as much as when I went every two years.

Since it's based on the model, and not your particular car, the fact that you still blow virtual zeros across the board doesn't matter. No way to get your car out of the gross polluter group. I'm sure glad I spent $1,200 for genuine factory cats...OTOH, at least I pass the visual inspections, too.

Thanks, MB.

Keeps the smokers off the road. If the car isn't worth a couple O2 sensors and a cat than its worthless. Time to be crushed.

I'm with you on that one Pooka. I hate driving behind a '70's or earlier vehicle with the windows rolled down. That is not my favorite smell, been a long time, but I can't remember if leaded gas smelled any worst.
