Georgia people, about emissions

Just a FYI, you only have to get an emissions test once every 2 years. I cant believe I never thought of it before. I got an emissions test on like Dec 20th of 2007, then I went and got my tags on Dec 3rd 2008 using the old emissions report. No questions asked. Awesome. Saved myself $50 for both my 7 and Jeep.

Emissions are for pansies with no style. If you live in the metro area, 84 is where it's at

Living in metro areas is for pansies with gutted cats. Jefferson is where it's at, no inspections, no fees, no stickers and only twenty minutes from Zoom-Fest.

Yeah I have the same problem with my FD, just gonna have to find another address to use probably or move. I too have the 2 tags with one emissions deal as I got my emissions in April of 08 and tag same month but its due in March 09 so no emissions again. The thing is that emissions is good for 1 year.

You might want to check that. The state updates the emissions you did, so even if you show an old report, they have the new one in system

Whoa, are you forreal? I got my emissions done last year and need to get it done before the end of this month. So I can go get my new sticker without having to do emissions until next year?

He's not for real. Every emissions reading has a serial number, and once it's used to register a car, it can't be used again. Truth be told, they don't even need the paper any more - they just check the records they have online. They are good for a year, though, so you can test just before your birthday, test again for next year, and go two years without having to pass emissions, but you DO have to get tested twice and pay twice.

Or you can give a guy some cash to run his Crown Vic like I did. Unfortunately, it's not my hook-up to share. If you ask around, you can find one, though.

Then why was I able to get this year's tags with last year's emissions report for my 7? The lady at the tag office told me to do this last year when I was there.
