So it looks like we have to do an OBD test now rather than the current tailpipe sniff. This is going to suck for the Collola we have that has a check engine light on.
Act fast on Drive Clean loophole

I've been reading that the OBD scan is going to be a bit PITA. I don't know a ton about the systems, but it appears they're pretty damn intelligent, and passing won't be as easy as hitting the "reset codes" button on your scanner and driving into the facility:
http://www.wheels.ca/news/get-cracking-on-e-test-to-avoid-a-retest/
Further, the new test checks the status of the self-tests, also known as monitors. If the monitor self-tests haven’t been successfully completed, a Drive Clean fail will ensue. Erasing the on-board computer memory with a scan tool or by disconnecting the battery will clear all the monitors and again yield an automatic Drive Clean failure.
Once cleared, it could take two to four days of combined city and highway driving to allow the monitors to complete self-tests on most well-running vehicles. So, don’t wait until the last moment to get your car e-tested. Should your vehicle fail, it may take several days to complete the necessary repairs and get the monitors ready for a retest.
Sounds like someone can make some good money learning how to, ahem, handle OBD-II systems from their garage.

This will be interesting seeing that I've got zero emissions shit on the car
I'm sure my tuner can fool all the monitors though.

AND if the car is older than 97 itll go on the rollers. WRONG! But thanks for playing.

Article doesn't say that at all.
Fact is: Jan 1, 2013 the roller test is dead.

snail pipe sniffed for 97 and older. stfu
Cars, vans and light trucks of model-years 1988 to 1997 aren’t OBD compatible and will receive a tailpipe test, similar to the current test.

You said it goes on the rollers.
It doesn't.
Want me to quote it again?
