    That's crazy. I had a fog out once and didn't pass because it was "stock" illumination. What's ridiculous about failing inspection is that it's just more work/time for them, since you have to come back again, but pay only once. I think they're just trying to get some work out of your car when they fail you. Then it backfires on them when you do it yourself.

      I'd look in the yellow pages. You should be able to find a good OBGYN there.






















      Ohh...."VIRGINIA" inspection...I'm an idiot.

      Every day I wake up we drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN
      Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in.
      Lobsterbacks attack the town again
      Wrap all my things in aluminum
      Beams of darkness streak across the sky
      Pink rays from the ancient satellite
      Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me.
      Every time I open my windows cranes fly in to terrorize me.

          Thats actually standard practice. When I had that issue with the E30, the guy told me that if I took the fogs out, he could write in "N/A" under the fog light section and I could put them back in after I got the sticker.

                    Shhhhhh. Don't rock the boat, Noah.

                    Less this makes the radar, the better off we are.

                    Actually, I bet we get tailpipe sniffing within the next 5-7 years. When Hummer driving Ah-nold Schwartenegger (sp-who cares?) jumps on the "Green is cool" bandwagen, it can't be long for us little farm communities.

                    I wonder what he's got to say about nearly being the sole reason Hummer even entered the civilian market, anyhow?

                    It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

                      The whole "green" thing is a joke anyway. Granted we should not throw our trash on the side of the highway nor should we dump used motor oil in the river but somehow I cannot buy into the notion that I should be responsible for the bad things that government and industry makes available for us to buy.
