Only in America.

You go out and put yourself in hock for five years to buy a car so
that you can drive back and forth to work and when you take it to have
it inspected they tell you that it doesn't pass? You can't drive it?

"only in America?" have you lost your mind - we have one of the most
permissive set of automotive regulations in the developed world. Sure,
in Afghanistan you could drive things you couldn't drive here, but have
you ever even considered that there are other countries? Have you
looked at the automotive inspection schedule in Japan, England, France,
Germany, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Holland? You have absolutely no idea
what you are talking about and you are whining because you can not
impose the health costs of your car on others and are being forced to
fix what is wrong with it.


My goodness. so what are you telling me? That although you can't get
your new car to pass the smog inspection in America it is even worse
in other places?

Well, I suppose it is. You can't even buy a new car in Singapore
without government permission to do so.
