wrong. wrong wrong. a quote from that very same driveclean web-site
mentioned in the first response:

The exemption for 20-year-old light-duty vehicles is ending as we
begin to focus more on the vehicles most likely to pollute. All cars,
1988 model year and newer, will require emissions testing until
they are taken out of service. These vehicles would have had their
last test for registration renewal in 2007, when they were 19
years old. They will now need to continue to be tested in 2009
and ever two years after that.

Point is that most of those expenses are discretionary. Unlike having to
pass a smog check, nobody's holding a gun to your head to get that stuff
fixed or else.

No need to tell me. I live through this every day. My car is almost 16

It was mentioned on one of the 5 year memorial TV shows... but they were
talking about how remarkably clear the skies were at the time of the WTC
attack, not after the planes were grounded.
