so I failed it on 4 counts in Paramus today..
Blinker blinking too fast?? Some of you may have seen it recently... it blinks at a normal speed (the paper says the limit is up to i think 130 times per minute... no way that mine is faster than that). I'll catch a video of it later.
Brakes - "failed automated test." Guy said to me - "you have no back brakes and your front ones are too tight." OK, I can see my back brakes being dead from burnouts and also since it's the same rotors, calipers, and pads that were on the junkyard rear when I got it. Fronts being "too tight", i dunno what theyre talking about there. Does anyone know brakes real well that can help me out?
Horn - "inaudible from 200 ft." Fine, whatever, the horns I bought the high note is dead, sounds like a friggin steamboat... I wouldnt say theyre inaudible from 200 ft but failing, ok.
The last one's the best...
on the paper it reads "RIGHT SIDE - MODIFIED EXHAUST" (yes in caps.) Guy said to me - "your exhaust is modified". WTF?!?!?!? the **** is this ****. They passed my license plate being tied on by a piece of string, my alignment being ****ed more than a crack whore outside a rehab center, and my abs, air bag, and brake (i dunno it just started yesterday, dash e-brake light is on but but i fail on having a modified exhaust?!?! they can even fail you for that?!?!?!?!
And what is also funny is how the paper says that I have 45 days to get re-inspected... but if it's not done by 11/30/05 my registration can be suspended
f'in dmv morons. Well I'm glad I put my cat back on before I went... theyve got a nice mirror they go around the car with.
I'm probably gonna shell out the cash now to get new rear pads and rotors, and have a garage I know redo the inspection, cuz im not taking my damn catback off for this state place. I'd appreciate some help on the brakes issue though, if anyone's got any idea.
