The problem here is in thinking that these state inspections have anything
at all to do with clean air or highway safety. These inspections are about
generating state revenue and nothing else. They are run in a manner to
extort as much cash from as many people as possible while hiding under the
veil of safety and clean air.

Subject: DML: Failed NJ inspection!
What a joke! I have a Jet Stage 2 chip, Flowmaster duals, and I passed
emissions with flying colors. My HC reading for a 99 318 allows 677, my
truck
registered 7! Co allows 94, mine was 1! Guess why i failed? The Rams-head
taillight covers and my aluminum footpedals!!!!! They actually tried to fail
me for the black adhesive strip that glues the windshield in place, saying
it
was an obstruction!!! I told 'em to take it up with Detroit, since that's
how
the truck is made. Un-friggin-believable! So now it's off with the covers &
pedals just to get a sticker. BTW, they never even checked lights, wipers,
horn or front end. Guess the footpedals are a major safety hazard here in
Jersey. I guess they keep the whole truck unsafe.
