I'd just wait until after April 1st to renew online. You can print out the online receipt in case you get stopped before the stickers arrive.
I always thought it was odd that the government decided to pay for the tests themselves. I'm as cheap as the next guy, but this seemed to be one case where the consumers should be footing their own bill.

I wonder how this will effect the crack down on classic cars older than 25 years. I know that the cars will still be required to make their vehicles emission systems operating properly with all the proper equipment, but I wonder if they'll still stop the driver and do a road side inspection. A know of a couple members on this forum that got stopped and fined in previous years, right Mike.

Am I the only one who thinks the E-test was a good idea?
I had a 79 firebird back in the day and that thing stunk, it was awful it should have been pulled off the road but I didn't have to keep up the emissions.
I think about all the crap boxes on the road stinking up the air and I'm not so sure this was a good thing.
Time will tell.

sure. Are willing to pay twice as much for your gas for the fuel truck to deliver it twice as much for your vegetables for the trucks to deliver to the grocery stores are you willing to pay twice as much for everything that the trucks deliver in case you didn't know trucks are the hub of life.

trucks are no longer the issue....any heavy truck engines built after Jan 1/10 runs amazingly clean, and current GHG 17 emissions are even cleaner yet....exhaust now amounts to ammonia vapour ....cargo plane and locomotives as well as ships are way bigger offenders..... a classic or modified car that sees limited use of 5 - 10 k per year or even less makes little dent ...IMO...
