Adventures in car inspection
Va requires a safety inspection every year, which is done by the guys at the local gas stations.
"What kind of car is this, a Maserati?" "No, it's a Tesla" "Huh. Glad I asked." And then: http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...3cecf04e8c.jpg |
Well, at career day, those guys weren't struggling to choose between NASA, DARPA, and inspection bay.
Funny though. |
Inspires confidence in their abilities to perform a proper inspection. ;)

I suppose there is no check box for "logo." Or "name written in big letters on back."

Did he fail you on emissions?

What about the engine? I am sure they found it. lol

My g/f's dad is like that.
He can't spell worth a crap, nor does he have an extended vocabulary, but man, can he diagnose a problem with anything mechanical. I remember he bought Harley parts from various swap meets. He must have had 10 or so big boxes in his garage, with pistons, con rods, transmission gears, etc. splayed out all over. A few weeks later, he had built himself a really cool rat bike with the old school foot clutch/jockey shift setup. He rode that bike to a motorcycle rally about 150 miles and parked it in a sea of other newer, custom-built garage queens. Guess which bike had the most attention ?? I think there are some people who are wired different from what we consider the norm, kinda like musicians. |

You can have visible smoke, a headlight out, a cracked windshield, and no brakes and still pass... :? |

I remember the state inspection stations being serious ball-busters... a friend of mine once failed inspection (many years ago) because his after-market shift knob didn't have the gear pattern displayed on it. |
