Oh, I can tell y'all about some inspection stories! Even with the antique plates, cops here as so dumb they will still stop you for no inspection sticker and then you have to go to court and show the judge the rule from the book. Even then, he might 'over rule' the book lol. Once a vehicle here hits 25, there's no more emissions inspection but you still have to get a safety inspection and all the pollution crap still has to be in place. 40 years ago one place turned my car down because the entire exhaust system was hung with heavy duty springs. Told the guy to show me the book that dictates what the exhaust system needs to be installed with. He didn't have time for that lol. The next place loved it and thought it was a great idea. Another place didn't want to pass my 71 340 Cuda because of no heat stove to the air cleaner which had no provision for one (no snorkels).....let's get book. It got passed. Another place didn't want to pass my 13" steering wheel on my first car but a DPS guy just happened to drive up during that little ordeal. The leaf spring issue is a new one one me lol. Dayam, who looks at the freaking springs!!
