Story of my life....
 

I swear to god...

Over the course of 4 years I put thousands of Dollars into my car, HOURS OF WORK. I'm a week away from the best day of my life. The car gets insured and registered. I slap on plates and theirs a whole big issue on how I wont be able to drive the car till it passes inspection when it wont pass inspection...

I'm pissed.

Buy a sticker? Or find a buddy? Or just **** it and drive without it passing? Or as painful as it sounds, make it pass?

dude if you fail, you have time to make the repairs and still drive it. read the fine print!

And is there something that says if its more than X amount to fix your are exempt?

Buy a sticker, that was my plan... **** it, thats what I want to do. But nooooooooooooooooo cant do either of those.

IM SO MAD, I just install lower control arms and it takes like 6 hours because I have to wait for people to borrow a grease gun, then people talk up a storm and wont leave my house... and now after all the work I just did, TO MAKE IT DRIVABLE i cant drive it because for some ridiculous reason I cant just go to DMV get a fail sticker, then go back again and keep failing till the car is 25 years old............................................... .................................................

Move to PA, classic is 15 years.

the parents gittin strict on this one?

SCORE!!!!!

I may have missed something why wont it pass? Do you have a cat on the car?

Yes, thats my whole point, But how the **** is that the law, and I still cant be able to drive it till it passes an inspection..

I have like 15 days to inspect it, According to my mother, it cant be driven intill its inspected... and it has to pass in order for me to drive it..

**** THIS ****. I put so much time and money into this car, I quit sports so I can work to afford gas and insurance, and get parts and now i cant drive the car..

what a pain in the ass.

My car has cats, and it is farrr from passing.

you should have gotten a pink card from the dmv when you registered your car. that is good for two weeks. you can then go get your car inspected from a state or private facility. you can have a fail sticker good for 2-45 days pending on what it fails for. emissions is 45. no seatbelts and other crazy safety issues is a 48 hour fail!

Nothing is stopping him from driving other than his Mom. All the loopholes and BS won't get around her.

Your parents are just looking out for you. A failure to inspect is $150, you have the money for one when the cop with a keen eye pulls you over? I've gotten 4 of them & managed to talk myself out of another 4. Trust me they are no fun.

you can drive your car on a fail sticker and on a pink card. your mom is wrong. there are some exceptions of course, but it doesn't sound like you are one of them.

Camshaft, Older motor then the car, skinnies, No brake lights, No wiring, only emissions on the car right now is the cat and its 3 years old, It will take a miracle or a look another way for this car to pass and according to my mother it has to pass legit.

there are no loopholes or bs. if you have a pink card, you can drive your car. if you have a fail sticker, you can drive your car. get a tow truck and have them drop the car off at an inspection center for the love of chevy

all i can say is be patient, i understand you have a lot of time and money invested on the car and your itching to drive it, but losing sleep over it is not going to make it happen any faster. Dont get impatient and do something stupid you will regret later.

is it going through regular inspection? No brake lights! you will never pass, and could be rear ended just driving there. am i missing something:?:

extreme weight reduction dawg

Just like not having rear brakes right?

EXACTLY! your a smart feller...but no really its for monster burn outs LOL

So wait...you cant drive it to inspection because....your mom said so?

First off...lets leave your mom out of this. In the end, she has zero to say about this cause she doesnt know wtf she is doing.

Second: What needs to be done to get the car to pass? Dont worry about the emissions, thats gunna be up to god at this point.
Im talking about horn, lights, mirrors, tread on the tires, seat belts work, blinkers work, etc etc.
Stop getting into a tizzy, just relax.

well for tires hes going to have to put the stockers back on

I ment reverse lights... i sorry I was just so pissed
