are you serious?are you that ignorant of cars that you can't pass a simple safety inspection?
1/31/2009 3:00:03 PM
I once failed inspection because of my wiper blades
1/31/2009 3:04:39 PM
do your lights work? horn? tread on the tires?that is about all that is covered

what kind of soviet era engineered bullshit are you driving man
1/31/2009 3:09:58 PM
11 year old car would be a 98 model. it has to pass much more than "simple safety inspection"

I have a 93 Camry that could no way in hell have passed another inspection w/o $1000+ in repairsfortunately I just moved to a state that doesn't require inspections

PASS!But I did need to get a new battery, not to mention the laundry list of "recommendations" that he had for me.Electronic Inspection Tags FTL.I sense some big brother shit happening by Nov. 09.

so how do they determine if your battery passes inspection? i don't doubt it, i've just never heard of that.

ran a test on it (that I watched). I hadn't replaced it in about 4 years and I knew before hand that the car wasn't getting enough juice when it started.They didn't MAKE me get one, but he said it was at it's lowest point of power.

ok

i went to jiffy lube to get my car inspected a couple months ago and they told me in order to pass i needed to come back with two new tires and new wipers. left there and went straight to a tire shop, dropped a little over $200 and got it all fixed. went back the next day and they looked up my record, told me i had already been passed, and then wouldn't let me leave the lot until they fixed my broken tail light fuckers$1

I just went to try and get my truck inspected. It's a 1993 f50 that I use as a work truck. The rearview mirror fell off so a few months ago so he stopped me right there. I know that's an easy fix. But I have a cracked rear break light. Light works, it's just the plastic. Do I need to replace that or can I seal it up somehow?

My car is 12 years old and passed with flying colors. You can only blame the age of the car for so much

^^ I've had my car with a cracked rear left taillight (pretty obvious too) for the entire time I've owned it. I think I've had it for four years, inspected it four times, and never once did they bother me about it. It depends on whether there's a hole in it or if it's just cracked, I think. Also depends on whether the inspector is an asshole.

No inspection required in SC, FTW!
1/31/2009 5:42:03 PM
TN too Though I wonder about the state of some cars on the road.
1/31/2009 5:42:57 PM
well, a 97 model has to pass OBD II, and the older it is the more likely it has thrown a dumb emissions code or somethingolder than 97 and it's easier to get it to pass

My car is 17 years old and passed with flying colors. You can only blame the age of the car for so much
