<VV> RE: State Inspection Wars

[mopar@jbcs2.net]

Having a State inspection license for many years, I have seen my share of
vehicles which were "death on wheels". And I have heard every excuse in the
book as well, I'll fix it later, I'm getting rid of it soon, I can't afford
to fix it now, it's not that bad, you just want to rip me off.

Many people didn't want an inspection, just wanted a sticker. Bald tires,
brakes metal on metal, leaky lines, failing tie rods, bad ball joints, and
cars rotted so bad they are breaking in half.

Put a sticker on one of those, and youare now criminally liable if they
kill themselves or someone else.

Many years ago, people would offer me $20 for a sticker when an inspection
was $4. I told them it would take $200 for a sticker. If the car is too bad
to fix, make it worth my while...........

I graduated from high school in '56. One of the local guys went to work 
in Detroit for the summer and came home with a '51 Chevy in primer that 
he paid $50 for. There was no way it would pass state inspection so the 
guy came up with the perfect solution----he went to the wrecking yard 
and bought a 51 Chevy windshield with a recent sticker on it and swapped 
windshields! A couple weeks later he took off for Florida in it and 
broke down along the way. He pushed the car off the road, took off his 
license tag, and hitchhiked on to Florida.
