500+ dollar day and my car still hasn't passed emissions

so what are the emission tests like in your guys's state/country?
here in the golden state, every year your car has to go through this test to see how much pollutants are spewing in the air. well to get it checked, it cost me 55, which really isn't bad in california at all.
so they said I needed my catalytic (sp?) converter replaced. that ran me 187. so I went back to the place to get it resmogged, well on my way, I got a flat tire. yay!!!! luckily I had a spare so I put that on. I went back to the smog place and lo and behold, it didn't pass again.
so I went to get my tire replaced and if my eyes didn't decive me they came back saying that I needed all four replaced. yay!!!!
I guess the legal limit is like 8 and there were at 7.5 inches
so that ran me at 238.54 (.54???????)
count the 55 for registration
and that's over 500 bucks!
*sigh*
-------------------- Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

I actually cheated my way out of that. I'm sure my car would've passed, but I didn't want to go throught the trouble. So I drove to my old hometown where they don't do emmission tests. I registered down there.

"so they said I needed my catalytic (sp?) converter replaced."
Gas that contains MMT and MTBE destorys these converters, and these chamicals happen to be serious neruotoxins, funny thing is...... (Car manufactures will tell you the same thing, see for yourself)
MMT was forced onb my countrt(free trade laws) after we banned it, it was forced on us by a CALIFONIA company, and then later.....my country(well a canadain company) forced MTBE on you,(Cali) after your government banned it, so we both get poisoned and your converter breaks down.
So on both sides of the boarder ,these snakes rule our lives.

in austin there are some places that will give you a sticker, but you have to sign a paper saying you won't go to any areas that require emissions testing. hehehe

no emissions test in arkansas.
my convertor clogged up about a year ago. i called around and it was going to cost ~$170 for a new one. i cut my nasty, clogged converter off myself and welded in a $4 straight pipe.
