It's not that my car's unsafe. Brakes are good and so is everything else. It 's just lacking certain........parts....if you follow.

Although I've never had a true meal there, I've often heard complaints that the food is over priced for the quality/quantity. Same goes for the beer.

I'm actually a Shank's fan myself.

Step 1) Go to local garageStep 2) Offer to buy the mechanics at said garage a case of beerStep 3) Go in occasionally afterwords to make small talkStep 4) Ask for an inspection

Chances of success...50%

Normally you've gotta know a mechanic for them to lick and stick.

It also helps to think out the modifications on cars that require inspection, I don't mean that to be a flame or to be a d!ck, but inspections are a known liability in the motorsports/enthusiast/"tuner" life.

not really but what exactly are you running

the garage i go only checks for a gas cap and catlytic converter... maybe an egr but its a domestic place (sorta like in the sticks) so they arent picky

I've got no cat and no oval muffler. My shoulder belt works but the lap belt wont(different seats that prevent it from latching).
