My headlights are failing and my emissions are way off the scale. Omani – If I were to personally go through the NCT, I’d fail every time.

Because of the drought, we can't wash our cars unless we pay $20 at the local carwash where they use recycled water. And dog hair is my excuse for car seat covers!

How come nobody worries about their emissions? Brianf,

Then I realised you've always been an auto mobile. You must be proud to have passed at your age. I better take mine for a test. What's brought all those much travelled people to live in your neighbourhood? At first I thought you’d developed a combustion engine. Then I realised you’ve always been an auto mobile.

Car are inspected once a year. They check all the lights, turn signals, glass, then they take it for a drive to make sure it;s safe. Then it must undergo an emissions check. This is where the bullshit comes in. All cars must pass an emissions standard set in 2005 no mattter the year of the car. My 1982 VW Transporter never passed, ever. The car was never meant to run by 2005 standards so every year I had to get an exemption. One year they exempted me after I bought an entire exhaust system. The emissions testing costs $40 on top of the price of inspection. It's just another tax. Same here in PA. Car are inspected once a year.
