Default Colorado Emissions = total Crap

Tried to get my emissions done today and long long long painfull story short, the craptastic contractors the state uses to test dont use machines that fit 33+ tires.... nor do they accept cradit card?!

When i asked about all the coloradians that i know have 33+ (highway princess or rock crawler) they just casually told me that most people buy a different set of tires and wheels just for the test or have a spare set laying around.... Im not pleased at all. So after some thought and some pain we switched my brothers stock front 32s with my rear 35s. Far more work than should be needed for something this simple...

Sorry for a long post but had to rant somewhere. Anybody else felt the pain from these shitty gov sponsored companies?

That does suck. This is good to know for the future. Apparently you and I are some of the few people that don't have a set of 32's for emissions.....What a dumbass explanation

When we get our emissions done here in GA they run the OBDII check and the gas cap check and we are done. No run time on the dyno needed. It sucks to hear that Colorado is different. Strange...

Never never say that again. Colorado is a swing state, there's still hope here, and not that Nobama hope either.
