The inspections here in PA are never anything to get worked up about.  Also,
you only need emissions inspections if you live near a city. That way the
residents of Penssatucky here in the middle of the state know you are from
out of town by your emissions sticker.

Anyway, I grew up in MD where they had this crazy law where the car had to
be inspected only once, when you bought it. It worked like this, you needed
the filled out inspection form to get your auto tags. They never quite
explained how that was supposed to work. Let's see, I go to guys house, buy
a car but I can't get tags for it until it's inspected but I can't get it to
the inspection station because I don't have tags. You had 2 options, drive
the car illegally to get it inspected OR tow it to the inspection station.
Most chose the first option. Does MD still do that BTW?  The downside of
that system was you could buy a car and 20 years later as long as it was
still rolling forward you could drive it on the road.
