    Wait until you get flagged for MAC :)
    Then you guys are in for a real treat - full look over by a state employed inspector at a state owned location. Had my evo go through 2-3 times and finally the last year it was inspected they told me to bring the car back to Mitsubishi and returned to factory specs - they wanted a letterhead from the Mitsubishi dealer stating it met factory specs. I told the MAC supervisor to fuck off and that my car will never see inspection again in this state. Haven't been back since.

    That definition is really determined by which state your truck is registered in. The laws are literally "all over the map"!

    yep..
    I usually go to Art Johnson. Art Jr. has always done me good. But Sr. has failed me in the past. I have no concrete evidence that this is a "better" place, except that they just passed me, but my tires don't stick out.

    I was actually going to see if you knew the go to spot. Haha

    I'm glad I live in a free state with no inspection

    If it starts and runs under its own power you can drive it on the road.

    heck one guy got an old nascar car, put blinkers on it and was good to go.

    Have always gone to H&S. Like the guys there. I am going on Saturday, I'll let you know what happens.
    Will be going to Kingsley soon for other stuff. Have heard good things about them. Not sure if he does inspects though.

    I understand it, believe me. People have gotten away with too much too long and now the laws are just being enforced. I had my rig in October but the cameras weren't ready yet..failed for a tire with some rot and license plate cover
    . My wife's is in June but her Rav4 is bone stock.
