Yes, we had color photos, but they weren't common in the daily newspaper at that time. Only the Sunday paper was "blessed" with color photos.

Tape is set with a 6" knife. Larger blades are used in subsequent coats.

There is no "neutral" in DC wiring.

You typically use an isolation solenoid instead of a diode.

Because that was the law.

The DMV doesn't handle tags because some legislator's brother in law owns a chain of "instant auto tags" shops.

Township / Borough cops have always been the worst with equipment violations.

Why wouldn't they hold? They're literally designed to hang a TV on a dab & dot wall.

Go get one of these.

Are you a student? You speak as if you are.

Have you ever actually interacted with homeless people?

Head on over to r/quityourbullshit with that nonsense.

Philly's schools were a disaster before charter schools existed.

There's no reason to get on the Blue Route when commuting from WC to Center City.

322 to I95 is much faster. Yes, there's a bottleneck as 322 approaches I95, but it's a quicker route.

> I commented on the esteemed Attorney’s name and said it was a statewide act that applied in beloved Delco.

Neither I nor /u/delcodick state or implied that the law didn't apply in Delaware County. Brush up on your own reading comprehension, champ.

Do you like proving yourself wrong?

Read the law you cited. It doesn't prohibit a minor from using tobacco products. It prohibits retailers from selling tobacco to minors, and it prohibits minors from purchasing tobacco products in PA.

The state is trying to comply with US EPA regulations.

If the US EPA (the feds) designate a county as a "non attainment" or "severe non-attainment" area, that county is subject to emissions inspection. It's not directly tied to population-the feds don't mandate that all counties with X number or more population get emissions inspection, but higher populations generally go hand in hand with more cars and more pollution, so it works out that way.

What is absurd about PA's inspection and emissions requirements?

The safety inspection prevents people from driving deathtrap shitboxes on PA's roads.

The emissions inspection prevents people from driving vehicles that unnecessarily pollute the air we all breathe.

What's absurd about those things?

Turning off the downstream 02s via tuning or coding usually makes the monitor show up as N/A or NOT SUPPORTED on an OBD I/M test. The state computer will typically allow that to pass.*

*I haven't done an emissions inspection in 3 years, but this info was correct as of 01/2020.

>Am I missing something?

Apparently. >>Since when does the county have anything to do with state registration and state inspections?

Since 1984, your county of registration has determined whether your vehicle is subject to emissions inspection or not. >>> AFAIK, what county you file the paperwork in is irrelevant, and state inspections are required and enforced in every county in Pennsylvania.

The county where your vehicle is registered determines whether or not it is subject to emissions inspection. All cars and light trucks, other than those tagged as farm vehicles, are required to have an annual safety inspection regardless of the county they're registered in.

You're right in that the paperwork can be filed in any county. For example, someone from Chester County could buy a vehicle in Potter County and file the registration/title paperwork in Potter County. His car would still be subject to emissions testing, because he lives in Chester County and the car is registered to his home address.

Drivecleanpa has all the info you could possibly need on this topic.

Thanks. Is the building still there?

Not universal. Counties that the EPA designates at "non-attainment" or "severe non-attainment" areas require testing. Others don't.

>Who remembers the state owned garage that you had to go to do get your emissions test done.

Did you ever actually go to one? Where was it? The legislature pulled the plug on them before the State Testing Center was open to the public in the Philly suburbs. I never knew that one was fully operational before the legislature pulled the plug on that deal.

That's not how it works.

How did they "give you a pass?" The inspection computer determines if the OBD system passes or fails. There's no way for the inspector to override the computer's determination.

The evap monitor will NEVER complete if the fuel level is below 15% or above 85%. Does your gas gauge work properly?

You're welcome.

After replying to your post, it dawned on me that I might know someone nearby who can help you. He teaches PA Inspection and Emissions courses in West Chester. Contact Joe Torchiana at Torchiana Automotive Training Institute in West Chester. 610-420-0879. He should be able to recommend a somewhat local shop who can fix your car and/or issue a waiver.
