1 more sleep to end of Drive Clean

[Spock]

Its almost over!

[Mellow Yellow]

Yippy!!

Three of my cars would have need it...but I was born in April.

[Ponyryd]

I’ll be there Monday renewing my plates, lol.
Let’s just hope this isn’t an April fools joke.....

Same, I have plans to sticker the Mustang at lunch, and if it's nice out, burnouts in the yard at end of day.

Wonder what this will mean to those of us that haven’t renewed registration in the last year. My car was parked for the last year and a bit. Only because I just didn’t have the time to drive it. So because it would have had to be etested last year I bypassed it.

[stangstevers]

Meh... doesn't change anything on my end... I hope people don't start deleting cats as result of this.

[Ponyryd]

^It surely will, and not only that but all the cars that didn’t pass years ago will now be brought back out to be enjoyed

Should mean nothing, go in and get your sticker, pay for the year or 2 if you want, go give er!

From another thread:

Well, that was a fast reply:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Ontario’s Drive Clean.

Please be advised that as of April 1st, 2019, emissions test will no longer be required for any light-duty vehicles and heavy-duty gas vehicles.

If 2019 is a testing year for your vehicle and the stickers are set to expire prior to the program cancellation date, then emissions test will be required for sticker renewal and in order to drive the vehicle. However, if the vehicle is off the road during the renewal date and will return on the road on or after April 1st, 2019, emissions test will not be required.

Should you require further clarification, please provide the following information:

- Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
- License Plate Number
- Type of Transaction or Purpose of Test (Renewal/Private Transfer/Family Transfer/First Time Registration)
- Sticker Renewal Date (if applicable)
- Fuel Type (Gas/Diesel)
- Name of City & Postal Code in Ontario of registration (as indicated on vehicle ownership)

Do not hesitate to contact us should you have any further questions or concerns.

Sawzall with new blades on hand, I'm ready!

Just joking around...

[svo1990mustang]

Guess my Mustang will be getting a new sticker this week.

[CON VERT]

I'm assuming that everyone that could wait has done so, expect the line ups to be worst than usual !

[90LXCoupe]

Maybe order it online. Mine came in 5 business days.

[stangstevers]

Got mine on Friday lol for the 87

[83 5.0]

I guess my buddies Ranger 5.0 project can go ahead with no worries on the confusing test year that would apply?
Also looks like the front plates may be going too.

Please elaborate about the front plate being gone. This has been my wish since I started driving (a very long time ago)

[ZR]

My only hope with this ending, peeps don't take it as an opportunity to pollute via inoperative / removed emissions devices like cats etc.

[RedSN]

New Brunswick just got rid of the front plate. Was not aware of any Ontario plans. Dougie?



…expect the line ups to be worst than usual !
Line ups? Who still actually goes to Service Ontario to get stickers?

I had to this year, because my Drivers licence and Health Card needed to be renewed and I needed to take a new picture. Then after I got my new RAM I had to go in to return the Jeep plates.

This is why I got a personalized plate, works on everything, was great when I used to run a stang in spring-fall and a truck in winter

Bye bye drive clean.... you WON’T be missed!![emoji3]

Okay so now, the question becomes, do I want a front plate on my car, or do I want to have open holes in my front bumper?

You can easily get bumper bolts/plugs. If you don't want to paint to match then leave em black. Still less unsightly than a big white license plate.

A quick google search found a fast solution: https://www.bumperplugs.com/

^Good product, but damn! $30/pair and my Jeep has 4 holes in the front! Open holes it is, lol.

This! Doing so will make it very easy for those not into the hobby to push governments to simply outlaw everything. We live in a world where we are the minority here. Let's not give them ammo to ban our hobby.

People who organize car shows should reject non legal cars from attending we should not encourage this behavior in any way.

[ZR]

The real rub, while it may cost you a few more dollars, easy as pie to make big h/p on the street and keep it legit.

35 people in line in Windsor, 3 windows open

4 now. Line curves around inside

[ZR]

Not surprised, know a few peeps that are either driving on expired stickers or parked until program ended.

[Ponyryd]

Got it done np, about an hour wait but very quick at the window even though I didn’t have any of
my ownership/insurance or renewal forms :) No questions about test or the fact that both plates were expired.
I saw Laffs there too but I doubt its burnout weather, lol

Not burnout weather today, but same experience here. No hassle and the car has valid plates for first time in 3 years. WOOT

Ricers will likely be the worst offenders.

Ricers will likely be the worst offenders.

Usually not, they only put on loud mufflers, 4 cyl cars require backpressure to make power, if they yank the cat they will likely lose power. Most of them know this.

Just went on-line ordered my sticker and have had expired stickers since 2015 and it went through......don't have the stickers in my hand but they took my payment !!! will let you know if and when they show up in the mail .

[ZR]

^ Yes please on how you make out.

[CON VERT]

Interesting ^^^ I just came back and got my 3 stickers , walked right up , no line ups in Ajax, but I'm still a little puzzled, it was $320 for the 3, not sure how that works out , must be some sort of higher math !

Probably something with the prorating. Mine was $160 for a "2 year" but actually expires July 2020.
