Inspection Woes
Hi All.
Im from Massachusetts, here's what I ran into at the inspection station today...
First...my APC Decal on my rear window is "not legal" Huh???
Second...My Eurolite headlites are "not factory"..got to go... Umm...yeah..
Then... "Oh, I can't touch it without the front plate on the car" HAHAHA!
Next...The minimal damage to my front bumper (covered nicely by an auto bra) COULD fail my car...WHAT???
Finnaly... "Ill let your muffler go, it looks pretty solid" SOLID!!! It was professionally installed!!!! WTF!!!
Moral of this story...Keep all of your factory crap before you get inspected!
Im ok, Really...At least he was nice enough not to take my 30 freekin bucks before he told me all this

yea like in maryland it gets inspected only when you buy it and if its new never.next inspection is when you sell it to the next guy and then he has to do it.if you buy it new and drive it forever and will not have to get it inspected ever unless a state trooper pulls you over because he can see somthing unsafe.I.E. light out,huge hole in your windshield,bald tires(if you not moving) there are some real junk riding around here

Dump- Havent you ever heard of Duct Tape? That is what I use when I need to get my MASS inspections and need a front plate on my cars........ of course they dont give me much of a hard time because I go to the same guy every year (just west of Worcester)- what town are you getting the inspection done?

Actually, I was able to find a down to earth, mustang driving country boy type that at first gave me doubt, but then he said, the hell with it, and put on the new sticker... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
