Ah, nomenclature references never get old...

Unless you actually talked to someone in Gov't?

Technically, you could sell them via proxy and just inform whoever buys it that emissions compliance is their responsibility. Sell $500 cheaper than average prices here, and you're sure to see plenty of sales.

Many states don't even have the emissions standards in place, nor do many inspection places actually even check for it, other than a cursory visual check, if that.
