2011 or something? | I will believe it when I see it actually gone for good.
I have a hard time believing the government getting rid of a cash cow like aircare.

If it was really for the environment, they wouldn't charge for it.
I mean fuck... I've seen stock Celsiors we brought in pass like crazy, but the one time I bring in a crashed 240, it fails miserably, and then proceeds to stall and shoot fireballs.

I hope they don 't get rid of it. So many cars out there using oil as gas (jokingly but implying a TON of blue smoke) Some of the cars you can barely see through the fog they crate of blue smoke

White smoke = headgasket leak (coolant burning in combustion chambers) or brake fluid getting sucked in through the master cylinder through the brake booster into the intake.
Blue smoke = bad piston rings and/or worn valve seals.
Black smoke = running REALLY rich.
Mild white misty smoke - not billowing clouds = running slightly rich - usually when cold. NORMAL.
Water dripping out your tailpipe... tighten that sphincter, you slack-ass!
And I personally hope they don't get rid of the aircare program either. If anything, alter it; but don't remove it.

Actually AirCare as a company/program doesn't make any money for the government. It's a self funded program, the money that people use to pay for the tests and such, gets put back into the program used to pay for the employees, maintenance etc. stuff like that to keep itself running.

My suggestion to you is to just go crawl back into your mom,stay there and make the world a happier place.
