There is a girl with whom I work. She has a '99 Civic and she too has been
driving around with her MIL on for a good year. I keep telling her she
won't pass smog with it on and she just says, "Oh, I'll deal with it when
the time comes. The car's running fine...".

the thing is, people worry about the cost of repair and don't realize
something like this is actually costing them considerably worse gas
mileage and therefore money to /not/ fix, plus, they're experiencing
increased rates of engine wear. but hey, it's not my car and it's not
my money.
