bjarvisNot mine, the car's.
Maryland requires vehicles to have emissions checked every two years. This particular test was only to check the gas cap for a proper seal and to check the car's on-board diagnostics. There was no treadmill test or actual testing off emissions from the tailpipe; I'm not sure if my car isn't due for a more thorough check or if they're simply relying on the car's sensors to confirm there isn't an issue.
In any case, my humble 2001 Civic passed the tests required and is good until 2010.

I'm not sure I want to imagine the testing probe, er, device for that.
