when i have gotten it inspected the past few years i run into three scenarios
*We are Porsche experts (most of the time they aren't) and they fail the car because they can not find an egr - or something along those lines. I point out it is a grey market car and show EPA/DOT papers and their eyes glaze over and fail the car. They still get their money so they don't care
*We don't know a thing about this car so we can't inspect it
*We just slap a sticker on your car after making you wait (so we can observe you) to make sure you are not DOT/EPA employee getting ready to bust us.
Obviously the last one is the best as far as I am concerned but they always seem to decline to inspect the car two years running.
Now the funniest things I have been failed for:
*The cabin heat blower was not connected to the duct work - Was failed on the basis that was an emissions item (intake pre-heat)
*Stuck throttle - the guy pulled the throttle hold up - when I tried to show him that he still refused (porsche expert by the way)
*Did not believe EPA paper work because my car had the leaded gas restrictor in place but did not have an EGR or Cat (car came with a premuffler - never had a cat)
Maybe I should just take a drive up to Raleigh see some cousins and then get it inspected. Got 5 more years of this if they don't end up changing the law
