Surely we could all take an hour or 2 out of our day to help our children? This might solve the problem.

I’m sure you would definitely be in the minority as for as testing your vehicle daily when it comes to emissions. I do agree that everybody should do their part when it comes to keeping the air we breathe clean. There are many cities in our country that are not required to do annual emissions test at all. I think that emissions test should be required nationally without exception. I got involved about a year ago with a device that dramatically reduces emissions, before that I worked in the automotive industry so I understand how the automotive industry works. It's my opinion that emissions failure is big business for the automotive industry and the devices that are available to keep vehicles clean are not used and made more readily available for that reason. My 18 year old son owns a 1990 Mazda RX7 that failed the emissions test in Austin Texas. After consulting with our mechanic it was determined that a tune up was in order to help the car pass the emissions test. After having the tune up completed we took it back expecting the car to pass the test, it failed again. We took it back to him again and he informed us that it would most likely require a new catalytic converter or we could try a new device that he was testing called the ECO-System fuel vapor enhancer. The ECO System was much cheaper so I elected it, after installing it the car passed with flying colors. Check it out at www.ecosystemsupport.com

Actually, if you drive a 1996 or newer vehicle it IS tested every time you start the engine! And the emissons control system is continuously monitored as you drive. If the Check Engine or Service Engine Soon light comes on, there is something wrong with the emissions control system.
Many states that have emissions testing don't actually measure the emissions from the vehicle, they download information from the OBDC computer system and issue as pass or fail based on that data.
So, you're about 11 years behind the times, my friend!

Believe it or not, the New cars ARE tested everytime they are driven by there owners for emmisions, thats what a check engine light is for, mandated by our federal government. At least all of the new cars since 2004 have an emission test that is ran every time the car is driven and some are continuously checked while they are PARKED!

I do not have the time to take my car somewhere everyday to be checked, im sorry that I have a life and you do not. Also, that would cost money everytime to get checked and I dont have all kinds of money to keep dishing out everyday for that crap.

NO AS LONG AS YOU DONT HAVE ANY HOLES ON THE FLOOR OF THE CAR IS COMPLETELY SAFE TO CHECK IT ONLY ONCE A YEAR IN MY BOOK.
