Re: [DML] State Inspection

["supermattthehero" <supermatty@xxxx>]

I make it a point never to let anyone near my car without me being
closeby, whether it be at a car show or a garage. We have inspection
here in Pennsylvania, and I had it inspected this past August. I
think the mechanic knew what I wanted just by looking at it. He
allowed ME to drive the car into his garage; ME to operate all of the
required functions, i.e. turn signals, lights, horn; and it was ME who
was standing at most 6 feet away during the entire process. It makes
sense to me. I didn't spend 15 years of my life waiting to purchase
this car to have some unfamiliar mechanic take 15 seconds to break
something.
