Emissions, twice in under 1 year??

[syP]

What gives? I just took my emissions test last october 2012 for my 1997 SHO Taurus.. I passed with flying colors.

Today I get a notice in the mail that I need to take it again by decemeber of this year.

Why so soon?

I was under the impression it was done on even/odd years? Weird.

First question.

uhh... so once a year now? since that is when license plates are renewed. Maybe ive never kept my cars long enough, and when I did.. it was my 1993 Taurus.

Due to these changes, some vehicles will be required to comply prior to the expiration date printed on the current Vehicle Inspection Report or Emissions Test Certificate. Generally, vehicles will still be tested every two years (even model year vehicles during even calendar years, and odd model year vehicles during odd calendar years).

so why was my 1997 tested in 2012 then if its an odd year car and an even year

You did it wrong?


It's been even/odd forever now which makes it every other year.

Because Illinois fucking sucks. That's why.

If the first test was overdue, the next one puts it back on schedule.

It's bullshit.

Exactly. My Lumina sat for some time before I got it. When I plated it, I got a letter right away in 2011. Then I had to test again in 2012.
