    I was cruising the back lot of Thompson Toyota and came across this 2007 Yaris hatchback. The 2-door hatchback version of the Yaris is not particularly common, and the majority of them are beaten to shit, so I got out of the truck to take some pictures; I was even more pleasantly surprised when I discovered that this one was a 5-speed! The emissions sticker expired in March 2022 and the safety inspection expired in June 2022. Even though it is illegal to do this, many mechanics in PA will put an emissions sticker on the car even if it fails safety, which is what probably happened here, and then it appears that the car sat for awhile; I'm guessing that this car is at the dealer undergoing repairs to make it roadworthy...

    Probably sat for a year and needs a tuneup, and/or the A/C needs to be serviced. In Pennsylvania, an OBD2 gas-powered vehicle will pass emissions as long as the catalytic converter is intact and the CEL isn't on; I know this for a fact because my truck passed emissions with a blown head gasket. On the other hand, vehicles will fail safety inspections for incredibly stupid reasons. My truck almost failed a safety inspection once because the brakes were a lot worse than I thought they were, but I made the dealer abort the inspection and fix the brakes, so it wouldn't show up on my truck's Carfax report.

    I failed PA inspection in the early 1980's because the guy somehow pulled a sliver of plastic from my taillight. It was not cracked or broken and worked fine but l ended up having to replace it.

    Agreed, it was a 1976 VW Rabbit, that taillight honestly had no damage.

    Celicas came with silver dash bezels, and Supras came with black ones. The owner wanted a black one, so he swapped them out and kept the one that came with this car should he ever decide to sell it...

    In Pennsylvania, antique tags by default come with a picture of a 1920s runabout on the left side of the license plate. Many owners place picture of their own vehicle over the default picture, as the owner of this 1980 Celica has done...
