Wow, I hope we never have to do that here!!! In PA we have to do the gas cap test, but no test with the tail pipe. Just a visual inspection under the hood for PCV, EM Canister, and Vacuum lines. Under the car has to have a cat and the exhaust cant slop around. You have that, you pass.

One bad thing about our tests: Since they are done at state run centeralized testing facilities, the "I'll just leave the 12 pack on the pass seat and hope I pass" doesnt work here. No way around actually taking the test with the actual car that is supposed to be going thru the test.

One nice thing: no underhood inspections. In theory, you could have a 460 with an 8-71 blower sticking out the hood of a 73 Pinto, and as long as it met the emissions standards for a 73 Pinto, you would be good to go.

Another strage thing here is no safety inspections.... you can come to the test with 4 bald tires, spidered windshield, 2 broken headlights, ball joints ready to fall out of the car, no functioning turn signals or horn, and as long as you pass the IM240 emissions, you can register your car. If we did have safety inspections here, my guess is that 30% of the cars on the road here would be taken off the road.

Yeah Jeff same here! I can't believe what some people continue to drive. Even worse, there was an old Datsun once at the station that smoked everyone out because of (way) worn rings. Yet the tech said he passed ths test. Wondermus!
