you don't have to pay if you get a rejection sticker.

[Andy]

I think you have to pay if you go to another station.

Register it at school, they don't require emissions in Rockingham County.

If you take it back to the same shop.

You'd be better off to cut a cat in 1/2, gut it, replace with a piece of straight pipe, weld it back together and put it where the cat is suppose to go, or get an 'emissions/inspection' friendly exhaust to bolt on for your inspection. If a shop gets caught forging an inspection they get fined big $$$ and loose their right to inspect for a period of time.

I have a old cat if you need it.

Well I will try up in the burgh 2maro.

but i dont think i can do the gutting the exhaust thing because i have a downpipe.. the original cat was on the original dp.

just put a cat somewhere on it, do you really thing some monkey at an exxon is going to know where the 'original' cat was??

[Dave]

ideal situation is to have a "cat" regardless of functionality, and a straight peice of pipe the exact same length with a flange on each end. Just throw on the cat for inspections and put the pipe back on for the other 364 days.

yes, you pay for the inspection if you get rejected, but the followup inspection is $1

If you take it back to the same station. In MD the rate is $60 or so (not hard set like VA), if you fail and come back you have to pay 1/2 again!

maryland only inspects when you buy the car, though.

Technically, it is when you 'register' a car. I could own the same car for 30 years but if I keep letting my tags lapse I'd have to reinspect each time I registered it, I know, I know .

why would anyone live in maryland anyway? ;x

less traffic and more crabs (both depending on _where_ you live) and I can't do my job anywhere else (and not have a 2hr commute). Believe me, I hate this godforsaken state as much as anyone else, I want SoVA back dammit!

Do you notice higher taxes there as well?

For what? Income? Right now, w/ the amount of money I make, and christina makes and our age, no kids, any state is going to rape me.

Sales tax is the same as VA now 5%. No car tax/personal property.

[Feersty]

Ah word, not as bad as I thought.

[Evan]

MD income taxes are in fact higher. Not sure how much that amounts to, state is always a lot less than fed. The taxes alone wouldnt keep me from moving to maryland. Maryland keeps me from moving to Maryland

[Evan]

and I can't do my job anywhere else (and not have a 2hr commute).

my commute up there from mclean wasnt horrible. 45-50min in the morning, usually 1hr in the afternoon.

and there is a certain "office" who is headquartered in chantilly....
