There is a movement afoot to stop emissions testing in BC because newer cars
are low output polluters.  I am dead against this.

Before AirCare, the roads were filled with cars running way rich and/or
puffing blue smoke.  In the part of the province that tests for emissions,
these cars are forced into compliance.  A while ago, when we were over on
the Island, where there is no testing, I smelled that
over-rich-with-a-little-oil smell that used to be so prevalent and it
brought back memories.

And by the way, our Vanagons have no trouble passing, Mike.   :)
