Illinois inspection?

Illinois has emissions testing. Cars over a certain age are exempt, but I can't recall how old it'd have to be. Don't worry, if the state wants your car tested, they'll let you know.

Many towns in IL (mostly in the Chicago area) require a "village sticker" on cars owned by residents. It's the local governments' way of getting a piece of the action. I used to live in a town that didn't have village stickers, but worked in a town that did. At least half a dozen times I came out of work to find a ticket on the windshield, for "no village sticker". Then I'd have to march down to the PD and suggest that they teach their officers how to look up a vehicle's registration.
