After talking with various folks in the motor trade and googling the web, cars that are or approaching 10 years of age and built after 1996 have mega problems with emissions let alone check engine light on. Yet the laws do not take into consideration vehicle's age. Most folks end up with salvaging a perfectly good car because it fails emission test. Or better yet ship the car to a state like Florida that do not have annual inspections. Will this will become a major problem as the years go by?

Maybe DC Santa will rejuvenate a CEL bill similar to the clunker bill to help pay for their foolishness.
