The problem is that the cost is passed directly onto the consumer... YOU. YOU have to pay to have crap that offends you installed on your vehicle.


I don't see that as a problem. Driving is a choice. If one doesn't wish to shoulder the cost of being a responsible vehicle owner, then public transportation is available. Maintaining one's vehicle so it passes emissions laws is no different than maintaining the brakes so that it's safe to drive. It's part of the cost of ownership.
