Emissions Test

I'm putting myself on the line here but........
Anyone know where I can purchase a fake emissions test? (BTW I kow they range from 200 to 250)

Any INFORMATION(not opinion) is appreciated.

*almost post*

why don't you use that money to fix your shitty car?

Seriously.

If you pay a certain amount towards repairs to pass the e-test you get an automatic pass.

Reduce your carbon footprint.

Problem is I don't have the 600 (or whatever the amount is) to pay for the "repairs". I have vet bills to pay cuz my idiot horse cut up his leg, supplements, training and possibly trailering for x-rays. The car itself is in fairly good condition, just the previous owner put a resonator on it and did some crap with the engine. Somewhere down the line it'll eventually be tuned and a proper muffler will be put on, but until everything is taken care of (horse & school stuff) it has to wait. Therefore fake one is the only option at this moment.

you don't have to spend money to get a conditional pass... you only have to pay for e-tests and diagnostics
A resonator shouldn't affect the emissions readings

I like this answer.

What kind of car is it?

Or, just fix the horse and ride it

Brilliant. You do know that an e-test has nothing whatsoever to do with CO₂, right?

Emissions testing is intended to prevent toxic or hazardous emissions. That includes:
- Hydrocarbons (HC, - incomplete combustion products)
- Nitrogen Oxides (NO_x)
- Carbon Monoxide (CO - that's the one that will kill you if you leave your car running in the garage for 3 hours).

Drive Clean doesn't even regulate CO₂ emissions. But I'm sure you already knew that, and were just making a joke, right?

Technically, since the main component in emissions control is the catalytic converter which converts a lot of those other bad things into harmless CO₂, passing an emissions test would actually be increasing one's "carbon footprint."

Thanks Diginut. You are always great at making people feel like an idiot.

Regardless having a clean car = clean air and that was my main point

Or maybe I'm wrong on that too

My interpretation of what you said was that if you're having car trouble, then you should drive less (or take public transportation), thus reducing your carbon footprint.

Clearly I read WAY too into your post! lol

hahaha. Let's go with what you said.

That way at least my post is valid

You will be a GREAT lawyer... you can make words turn into anything.

Haha thanks Tara

speaking for those without a car, a horse or $250 bucks to spare i say just drive the car without an emissions test and risk getting some actual problems.

Seriously man.... why do you always feel the need to do this?

So that people know the actual facts instead of 'that thing that guy told them that one time'?

Precisely.

Most people aren't actually idiots, they've just been exposed to bullshit their whole lives without any way to know that it's bullshit.

If the facts make some people uncomfortable, then so be it. It's never bothered me personally to be told that I'm full of shit - if I'm actually not, then I'll know it, and if I am, then it's better to find out than to go on being ignorant.

Although to be honest, any person caught using the term "carbon footprint" in public deserves to be mocked.

"It's not what you say, it's how you say it" - something my mother told me nearly every day as I had a dreadful attitude (still do sometimes lol)

I really have no problem when people tell me that I'm wrong as long as it's backed with fact - which you did. So thanks

I really know nothing about cars.


Regardless... reduce carbon footprint ftw - I've been watching a bit to much 'Project Earth' lately.

I know what you are saying, and can agree with that in certain circumstances, but a lot of the time its just unnecessary 'look how knowlegable I am' bullshit.

In this case, when someone says I want to drive a more environmentally friendly car to reduce their carbon footprint, no one gives a F_ck whether or not a car actually emits carbon; we all know what she is trying to say. Plus, 'carbon footprint' is one of those buzzwords now which (AFAIK) just refers to being more environmentally friendly in general (I bet Diginut will jump on my for this) and the word 'carbon' is just being taken too literally by some of you!

Ride the horse to and from work/school.

You own a horse and can't find $600 to help us all breath a little bit better?

+1! I was always under the impression that horses cost more than cars for the most part... especially with ongoing costs to 'maintain' the horse

I have a catless exhaust and pass emissions. Figure that one out
