The Aircare Sham

My goodness, I just took my car through aircare, expecting, as it has for the past 3 times, for it to fail miserably. But no! It passes with flying colours! Have I done anything differently? No, and this time my car is minus its catalytic converter - which I would have thought was a contributor to lessening emissions. Aircare is a sham. They take your money, and claim they are bettering the environment. What's really lowering emissions is the newer vehicles being purchased which have cleaner engines. Well, I guess I can't be too sure about that and perhaps there are other factors at work, but I can't believe Aircare alone has anything to do with it. Why wasn't my car, which has failed numerous times, ever taken off the road? Well, as long as the owner puts up to $500 in Aircare-related repairs, even if it fails you can continue to insure it for a certain period of time. How many broken down old wrecks are out there polluting away while the owners put a minimal amount into them every year to keep them going? This is ridiculous. And now, my car passes, a fluke I guess. But Aircare has yet another $48 from me. I wonder how much money they are taking in from cars that are allowed to continue polluting? How can this possible help clean the air?

ERGH.
