***In states without these rackets, I don't see uninspected vehicles exploding, running off the road, tossing axles or whatnot. ***


This is just another means of extracting funds from the taxpayer without calling it a tax. I have had my go-rounds with the inspectors myself. After spending over 700 bucks on my van (brakes, exhaust, tie rod ends, Etc.) I had a conversation with the inspector that went like this,

"You need tie rod ends."

"They're new give me my sticker."

"You need a new muffler."

"It's new, give me my sticker!"

"Brakes"

"NEW!, Give me my sticker!"

"Catalytic converter"

"NEW! NEW! NEW! Here are the receipts! Everything is new! NOW GIVE ME THE $%#%$%$ STICKER YOU MORON!"

He finally failed me because the glass over the license plate light was cracked.

Don't even get me started about what happens when you change insurance companies.

Oh, well -- you live in Tax-a-chusetts!

Remind me never to live there. Nor even to go there.
