Get ready to take it harder than Marcellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction if you are in an area that allows the Terrorists to win. BTW fax is the fastest way to get through to the EPA.
Enjoy.

Because they shut down the last remaining two stations in Chicago city limits? (The city SOLELY RESPONSIBLE for the EPA to require testing...)
Great idea! Make them all drive even further into the burbs and crap up even more air than before! Just goes to show it's all about money and not a viable solution.

How did you swing that? I have to get my two year smog this week. I usually reinstall the stock airbox in addition to re-flashing the tune back to stock), but this time I think I'll leave my CAK on and see if I can pass. I should be able to convince them it's a CARB compliant setup (it's not I don't think.)
Cant believe I've been changing it out every two years, but thought I had to until a friend educated me.
You guys haven't seen emissions BS until you've jumped thru the hoops in CA.
So, tell me how I make my MM a collector car?

Move from Cali...
In brief, Ohio allows collector status on any car with less than 8000 units produced for a model year with documentation (our Ford certificate works) and you show proof of daily transportation registered to you other than collector vehicle. You are not supposed to use collector registered cars as daily trans..and I don't anyway...

Move from California? You have no idea how many times I tell myself that every day. A few more years...
Ohio has a sensible policy there. California would never do something like that if it cost them a dollar in smog cert fees.
After all, Jerry Brown has a $60 billion high speed train to nowhere to build. ;-)
Thanks for the information.

I went in May around the time they closed many locations. I had to wait in line for over 2 hours at the lombard location. Probably 150-200 cars waiting, idling, polluting, and wasting fuel to get the dumbass testing done. A huge joke...but there was nothing I could do as Memorial day was the following Monday and would be closed.

IMPOSSIBLE! Applus Technologies who won the bid to maintain and operate the emissions for Illinois (and also who made the call to close the stations...) said they DOUBLED capacity at all other locations!
EPA says we have come a LONG WAY and have really cleaned up the air, but not enough to shut this crap down just yet..
Kentucky only tested for six years in the early 2000's and got the all clear to shut it down. We've been doing this for over 27 years!

Even if you could grow Petunias with the exhaust from every vehicle in Maryland, this communist state will NEVER get rid of their (hidden tax) Emissions Testing!
Too much money going into the State coffers
.... and why eliminate a huge inconvenience to all of the Maryland's vehicle owners??!
As others have stated:
If you calculated the amount of fuel burned by every car having to drive over to the nearest Emission Test Station.
plus the amount of fuel burned while waiting in line, idling.
plus the amount of fuel to drive home/to work after the Emission Test
VS.
A very small number of 'stinky' cars in violation. (The State can easily look up and quantify the number of cars that fail)
You would be much more effective cleaning up the air by eliminating the stupid Emissions Testing programs.
It made some sense when a large majority of vehicles were carbureted and had old school Catalytic converters.
