State inspection issues...
#1
Where can I take my car to get inspected that would be willing to overlook a few things in the name of high performance?

I thought you'd know of all the good spots around here? I can't imagine any local place hating on a breathed-on domestic V8. I know Shenandoah Automotive on 42 overlooked somethings on my old car that had "failed" me*

*I believe I was failed simply for driving an import/to be handed 800 dollar repair bills

You're gonna be standing in line for a year then. Big Grin

If you own a passenger vehicle, trailer, semi-trailer or motorcycle with a model year that is more than 25 model years old before January 1 of the current calendar year, you've got an antique!

It has to be 25 before the calendar year. Since it turns 25 in 2010, you're not eligible until 2011.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

It is DMV... :oops:

Will I be there 2 yrs?, "MORE than 25, BEFORE Jan1" It won't be more than 25 until the day of Jan 1 2011. I guess I need to call...

I really don't want to make another fake sticker. :wink:

WV cops are fucking terrible for inspection/registration type tickets. I've been pulled over 3 times since living here. In Va, i drove around with no inspection or front plate on my SS for years and never got caught.
