Having never failed, even on the pipe test with a hot rodded small block.....I'm glad to see this gone. My only concern is buying a used vehicle without a full certification that used to included emissions. Going to need to bring along a good scan tool when buying used. The vulnerable car shopper might get scammed without one.

That's just it for us. The e-test didn't care at all about safety and the only time we need a safety inspection is when you sell the vehicle. Admittedly, we don't see the same number of clapped out rust buckets as we used to.
