I'm not defending AirCare, I'm defending logic, and you're using NONE.
If you're going to fight against something, you have to understand it, get the facts, apply reason... you've done none of the above, you're just pissing into the wind and it's blowing back into your face.

No you don't, you only give a fuck about "monster killer". The fact is, whether you believe AirCare's website or not, logic and reality completely obliterate your claims about AirCare.

Since you don't have a problem with aircare and love the fact it's around,perhaps you can pay for my next testing fees.

Now where do you get that idea? I've had my cars fail plenty of times, I've had to pay plenty of re-testing fees and do plenty of repairs for cars that failed by just the thinnest margin. It was a pain in the ass when I drove shitboxes, but I found an easy way around it: I drive newer vehicles now that don't need to be tested.
I've also had some great dealings with their employees, who have nothing to do with making the rules and are just there to do their jobs. One found that my gas cap failed, first thing when I pulled in... instead of taking my money and forcing me to come back and re-test later, she let me leave to get a new gas cap, then come back to test again at no charge.

If your vehicle fails its inspection and your repair shop indicated the defects that are not yet repaired, you should have these repairs done as soon as possible.
If your repair shop did not indicate that further repairs are required, you should return to the shop for a re-evaluation of your vehicle.
It is always recommended that motorists authorize complete repairs on their vehicle. A vehicle that has its emission system defects fully repaired rarely fails subsequent emissions inspections.

So instead of just muddling about, throwing money at the problem and no doubt applying all manner of hacks recommended elsewhere on this forum (Mohawk gas? Various additives? Detuning? What else?), you could have simply taken it to a certified shop in the first place, where they could have determined where the actual problem was, and if they couldn't fix it, you could have at least gone for a conditional pass. Even if it's still too much hassle to keep, it would now be good for the next year, and would be a hulluva lot easier to sell than in its current state.
Hell, I'll give ya $500 for it... but no more, because you know, it's gonna need a buncha work before I can insure it...

Aircare is efficient in what it's designed to do: reduce emissions in passenger vehicles. I'd rather be driving behind ten 1991 Civics that passed Aircare than behind one that's billowing blue and black smoke. Commercial vehicles (including bus's, RV's, tractor trailers, etc) are also tested, but just not at your standard Aircare stations.
And the majority of the profit that Aircare gets doesn't go to the government. It goes to Translink and the company that runs the majority of the emissions centers world wide (I forget what it's called).

As I recall, AirCare is under government mandate to operate as non-profit... among others, I expect one reason for that is specifically to avoid the "cash grab" accusations these clowns keep coming up with.
