I'll give you $30 a day!

 

In 1-4 weeks your car could be completly taken apart and sold as individual parts on ebay. I would probably contact some authorities about this.

 

I got the same letter about 4 months ago. I gave them my car and I guess they are still running tests, because I haven't gotten it back yet.

There was some kind of error at the police office. They said the Geo Metro "rental" I had was stolen from some Jamaican guy in Long Island. I don't know what that's about.

Nevertheless, I'm very happy that I'm able to help the environment.

 

How many suckers actually fall for this one??

 

 

You've got to be kidding me with these responses... before talking out of your ***, do a quick search and you will find (and yes, they do emissions testing):

It really wasn't a question of the legitimacy of the letter -- it was more a question of why the Z? Are they targeting imports? I was thinking if they can prove that after 'X' thousand miles the Z does not meet federal standards, they might be able to make it difficult to import Z's...???

Anyway, here's the letter too.

 

no thanks.

 

lol id take it as a joke.. i mean they seriously wouldnt expect me to give up my G for a late model (american/economy) rental and $20/day over "1 to 4 weeks" and a tank of gas...?

 

Hell 2 The NO

 

Wouldn't seem worth it to me, but for the best answer to your questions I would give Ms. Sue Cook herself a call. I did a quick search and she does seem to be emplyed by the EPA...

 

My friend works there (in the Ann Arbor EPA office).

Don't do it.

 

alright homeboy, give them your car and come back and tell us what happens.

 

Why would any of us do a search on something that you could have shown in your original post. You don't think it sounds fishy that someone wants to borrow your Z and give you a rental in return?

You even made it sound that you were dubious.

Now that it appears legit, would you let them take your gf for a week if they promised they were only going to test her and it was for the good of the environment? I know a lot of environmental wackos.

 

F that. Its definitely not mandatory, why even consider it. Make a $100 in a week? I doubt you need that...and at the expense of letting someone else drive it?? Wouldn't surprise me if they did a bit more than emissions testing...

 

Hahhaa...i cant stop laughing lol...

 

My original post was a question: Whether or not anyone had received a letter from the EPA. I did the necessary searching before posting; I mistakenly thought others would do the same.

The entire sentence was:

"Weird thing was, my VIN# was hand-written on the form, so someone took some time writing out this request."

I would have expected a form with my VIN pre-printed on it. I was just a little surprised that someone took the time to hand-write the VIN. Made it seem like they were hand-picking vehicles.

 

I have not received a letter like that... and I would not take them up on the offer.

Sounds like a scam or possibly scamola. ..and I don't let anyone drive my Z.

 

This would be possibly of great appeal to an environment concious person.

 

Which is exactly why you shouldn't. Some idiot tryin to get a joyride. There's no reason a random Z needs emissions testing.

 

Id throw the letter away and forget it
