There was no way you were getting out of the shop without at least $300 worth of repairs just to pass this bogus inspection. I now live in Ohio where there are no such inspections.

My dad said that when he was a kid growing up in Chicago, you had to leave a $5 bill on the front seat or you would never pass.

It's our government keeping us safe!....
