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.

copy the certificate, put it one of those cutesoid frames, with this wee picture of your car
off to one side, put it on the fridge door, and be Very Proud.
then next year, when the Maryland DOT tests YOUR tailpipe emissions, using a similar cutesoid frame, you can photocopy your certificate, and maybe you can sit bare-bottom on the office photocopier and put THAT image in the wee picture off to one side of the certificate...
or maybe you could use this:
and again, be Very Proud.
ok, maybe I shouldn't go there
