I am usually multi-tasking when I'm here during the day. I really ought to stop "trying to help".

Do I get at least some points for knowing there was something to get, even though I wasn't getting it?

It's ok. At career day, not everyone is struggling to choose between NASA, DARPA, and word play.

I want to see the part of the form where they state they checked the exhaust system and that is OK.

I remember when we lived in VA, EVERY inspection ended up needing the headlights aimed. It was an easy extra few bucks in their pocket.

A friend of my Dad's complained about it, that the headlights had just been aimed, etc. He ended with a list of about $500 worth of repairs (in the 60s). And the law was, if you got your car inspected, the original station that did the inspection had to pass it.

Headlight aiming is included in the cost of the inspection.

In VA? I am not sure that it is. We had the same experience Pinecone did with one of our cars.
