for some reason i doubt that will happen but cool if it does, just not sure with all this global warming talk, just do what i do and register your car in another county

 

[dantheman68]

hooray!!

there are only like 4 counties in all of wisconsin that have emmissions anyway... seeing how much theryre spending to regulate it when people just register out of town anyway




oh, and dont you have to have property in another county to register your car there?

 

[smokin joe]

Nope thats a common misconception, dont own shit in dane county although it does help if they did ask about it but they dont

 

[red89mtx]

witch ones are emission free around here?

 

[smokin joe]

any but Kenosha Milwaukee Ozaukee Racine Sheboygan Washington or Waukesha those are the ones that are required to be tested

see exactly... thats the thing... its soo poorly enforced why even have it... my dad used to have a 77' 442 and that thing had no cats whatsoever, and a true dual exhaust... failed twice, then the third time the guy liked the car and said "well ill see what we can do this time"... and it passed... got the collector plates, then you no longer need to test it... whats the point? the only good thing is that emissions testing lets you know when youre getting terrible gas mileage and you need new O2 sensors


oh and as far as CO2 and global warming... you exhale more CO2 daily than if you left a car running all day long. its air pollution that they cut down on with emissions, which is a bit different than global warming... most cars manufactured today are 100x cleaner than the cars of yesterday, so the pollution isnt as much of an issue as it used to be...


i should write a letter...

Consider this: the act of driving a vehicle is the average person's one regular activity that has the single largest impact on the earth regarding climate change. Indeed, for each gallon of gasoline burned, that’s nearly 20 pounds of heat-trapping carbon dioxide released into our atmosphere, not to mention carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, sulfur—and more. And here come the numbers: Every 1 million gallons of gasoline consumed by vehicles releases approximately 10,000 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Consider the fact that the United States uses approximately 420 million gallons of gasoline per day. Indeed, it's estimated that the United States releases over 8 billion pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere per day—and this is just from gasoline.
You are right that the main goal is for air pollution, but air pollution greatly contributes to global warming
Anyways back to the original topic

 

[dantheman68]

hmm interesting... ill have to find out where i read my facts from...

either way... i hate emissions testing



EDIT: examples of greenhouse are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone

NOx produces smog and acid rain it is not a greenhouse gas, but no doubt it is harmful to the environment... same goes for Hydrocarbons


my main point is that when the testing was introduced in the 60's cars were built alot differently and with different goals in mind... i think emission testing is mainly a thing of the past and that most of the money they are spending can be used to better other more relevant problems (im not saying that we should have our cars be ditry, and driving around with black smoke shooting out of our tailpipes, im saying that we dont really have to worry about it, since the problem is essentially non-existent to what we used to have)

 

[smokin joe]

yup thats why after they had my 95GL on there for 30 min straight and used more gas than it took me to drive there and back i said f-this

and the 1 hour plus you spent driving there, waiting in line, waiting for them to finish, then driving home ****** cuz you failed (in my case atleast)

 

[Mrhappytuzi]

honestly there are much bigger issues than global warming in the very near future.

yeah like nuclear holocausts

for each gallon of gasoline burned, that’s nearly 20 pounds of heat-trapping carbon dioxide released into our atmosphere,

so 6 pounds of gas creates 20 pounds of co2 ?

how is that possible ?

 

[362104]

I'm sure most of us have heard a Harley WOT at about 3 AM going down the road. Talk about emissions and NOISE!!! Wisconsin law enforcement be it local, county or state worry more about cars, trucks etc than cycles.

This is why I normally won't travel any further south than Fond du lac in my Lightning, due to the exhuast.

Just my 2 cents

 

[dantheman68]

its not just gas that fuels your car... chemistry tells you that during combustion O2 is needed and its byproduct when reacted with gasoline is CO2, technically you could use any oxidizing agent...

 

[inverse1216]

no emissions in wood county besides like stated before i think there are far bigger contributing factors to global warming then me driving my car. like **** if ill ever own a prius i love my big smog throwin catless bronco oh and its nice and loud.

 

[362104]

Last check, the Prius were all over dealer lots. Last year they couldn't keep em. Remember gas was well into the $3's. It's creepin up again.

I think we should have safety inspections. I had a 94 Ford Exploder in my shop the other day that had the air bags taped back in thier spots becasue she hit something and popped them . I told her she shouldn't be driving it, and we don't work on cars that are unsafe to drive. Boy did she get ******. Most of the cars that are on the road that do the most poluting are the cars that are not safe to be on the road.
