Clearing the air
(viewed 1748 times)
Every couple of years, Maryland law requires you to go and have your
emissions tested. Car emissions, that is! It's an odd, slightly annoying
process of going to a testing station, handing your keys to a total stranger
and being told to wait in the glass booth while they poke and prod your
baby...I mean car to make sure it's not polluting the environment, then have
the nerve to charge you $14 for the privilege. Ah well, it's taking care of
mother Earth I suppose...

PS. The "Move It!" pictures are of a handy little leaflet reminding you that you may well have a nasty accident, but it's your job to get your car out of the way afterwards. If you don't you'll be punished to the full extent of the law (or something). Charming!
