Do you like it when the vehicle driving in front of you is emitting smoggy smoke from their exhaust pipes and filling your car with nasty fumes?

I don't. I wish there was somewhere or someone whom I can report to about cars on the road that should have their aircare checked.

[wingies]

everyone knows aircare is the biggest money grabbing scam there is, they dont really give a fuck about the air pollution

paying $50 bucks for liek 2 mins of work on obd2 cars? no thanks but you dont have a choice

[StylinRed]

thats what i do when im in the city... why would you want to smell exhaust

[hear-it-first]

aircare promotes vehicles to fix their smoggy cars and prevents bad vehicles to be on the road. failing aircare means, fix the car or the car cannot be on the road. isnt that right?

[Prolowtone]

^ there is a control for fresh air or to recycle the air in the cab.. or at least in most vehicles

Maybe they were using sea foam? I used it in my car last week when i was going to aircare and i could not see the vehicle next to me in my complex but it was mostly cleared as i got on the road.... You could triple my results and i can still pass everything with room to spare :)

If it's on, it means that vent is closed and you're not getting air from outside.

[hirevtuner]

Air care is only for Vancouver and the Fraser valley.

The government doensn't earn much, if any, profit from Aircare. Aside from that, fifty dollars and fifteen minutes of my time every couple years is a small price to pay for having an atmosphere and artic ice cap for our grandchildren to enjoy.

You have up to 1 year to repair your vehicle after failing air care. Maybe they're in that period..

Agreed!!!

It's not people who drive, but people who own cars so it makes sense to me. Drivers aren't getting dinged, it's people who drive AND own cars. These are people who have already cross 2 decision thresholds and have the ability to own a car and pay for it's associated costs.

If you've ever been to a smoggy city, you'd understand. I played tourist in Beijing last year, you couldn't look down 2 city blocks downtown without noticing a grey haze. Dinging people $50 who made the choice to pollute seems like a good deal to me. I'd happily ding you so when I blow my nose, it doesn't come out black. omg, that was so disgusting.

Ahahah thanks mate, the picture totally says everything. I owned 2 cars and drove for 6 years and didn't know what that button was. Simple yet profound discovery.

GOOD GOD!!! tell me you just got your license... if you've had it for 1+ years and you dont know how to operate all the functions of your car, you should just TAKE the bus...

[hear-it-first]

I would usually ignore things like this but I have to say, there is nothing wrong OR ridiculous about me not knowing about the "recirculation button" or whatever it is. I reassure you this isnt a troll as well.

And it doesnt mean I dont know other things. And is this button even that important? Or essential to operating a vehicle? And how did you learn it about it? I dont run through my car's owner manual word for word (which would be the simplest way to learn about this feature, UNLESS SOMEONE HAS TOLD ME ABOUT IT)

And you know what? I'm grateful that I have learned now. I thank the person who took the time to tell me about it.

There is no stupid question in this world guys. A question asked, is a new thing learned. AND OH YES, don't expect everyone in this forum is a car enthusiast or a mechanic!

[Nightwalker]

AND OH YES, don't expect everyone in this forum is a car enthusiast or a mechanic!

Well... you are posting on revscene.

Still, no need for some peeps in this thread to be such dicks.

[hear-it-first]

As a matter of fact, I was introduced to this forum many many years back as a buy and sell alternative in Vancouver. But I have always treated this forum as the "general forum" of Vancouver, as opposed to the "car enthusiast" forum of Vancouver. Besides, where else is a better place?

[J____]

or my evo, whoops :blushsmile:

I challenge you to a smog off! Who wants to be the judge? guy with worse smelling exhaust wins!

Be careful accepting the challenge though, your 2000+ evo is competing with my 30+ year old car haha

[Volvo-brickster]

My DD failed air care a few weeks ago due to high NOx.
My summer toy won't pass air care due to no cats.

But with each liter of gas i pump, I pay a carbon tax ( thanks Gordon Campbell ).

The carbon tax should offset this pollution no ? :D :D :D

[Death2Theft]

If they really cared about smog they would crush cars that got busted with no cats.
