Driving is not a right! Why are our tax dollars doing this? As far as I know all of these counties have public transportation. And if you can't afford a new muffler, how are you paying for your liability insurance?

Are there any statistics on whether the emissions inspection program does any good? Frankly, it's just a program for each state to get extra money. It's a boondoggle, a farce to squeeze more money from the consumer.

If the state is going to mandate cleaner air standards than were in effect at the time a car was manufactured, then the state can pony up the cost to keep the car in compliance.

If that sucks, then maybe so does your state government.

Complain to them. They're the people who are allowing these regulations to go into effect.

Nitrogen oxides are the chief man-made component of ground-level ozone. If concentrations are high enough, they can trigger asthma attacks and aggravate emphysema, bronchitis and other respiratory ailments.

Oh no...guess we cant run straight open pipes on our cadillac 500 cube motors at the next demolition derby..don't want to cause an asthma attack in the grand stands...
