Owned or drove? Big difference.

Trick question. The right answer was to ignore it.

[4eyedwillie]

[white88]

About a year.

So it was already inspected when you purchased it?

[4eyedwillie]

Not today. It comes and goes. I never said I did 20 a day I said I would be happy to do that many.

Well I hope your want to fill the void of silence works out for you.

He must have:

Since I don't have the car any more who knows what it has. It was a 78, older than 84 doesn't need cats. I never inspected the car tho.

not to bring this back to the article, but wouldn't it be super easy to figure out an operation like this.

every inspection is logged in the state database, these places had to be doing an abnormally large amount of:

A: Pre ODBII inspections
B: Out of area inspections (cars coming from other areas/counties to be inspected)
C: Previously failed, now passed inspections
D: Overall number of inspections vs. comparable local inspection stations.

Seems like the state could easily apply a simply algorithm and figure out who the major players are in the deep dark dangerous world of phony inspections.

I always keep my cars inspected.

Yep that's how they usually narrow their focus to the problem stations. That plus for OBD2 cars when you plug the clean car in and type the bad cars vin into the computer the computer compares the two vins and if they don't match it flags the inspection into the states computer.

That under belly of a world is so sketchy and frequented by such people with low moral compasses that the State steers clear of them unless their is money for them to make too.

how do you deal with folks who swap pcm's with a junkyard unit or similar situations. vin in the pcm won't match vehicle vin.
