I've had to get mine replaced every few years. Luckily I got the lifetime warranty the first time. They don't last long at all anymore, at least in my experience.

Vamped Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Dang ... the city got into an argument with the EPA about who was supposed to be funding the vehicle inspection centers and .... they just stopped doing them here. You just get your license plate and renew your tags every year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insipid Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I personally like that annual inspections are required in my state. Used cars are less risky to purchase, for one thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I usually don't even know anything is wrong until a mechanic tells me, unless it's something really obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But because i drove from FL and back multiple times I'm up to 89k miles. So I'm like do I want another car loan orrrrr? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, I bet you'll need to get it replaced every few years so one with a lifetime warranty is almost required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSAID Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I can't drive, but I moved away from PA to a state that doesn't do inspections and I'm still amazed at some of the shit I see on the road. Like I saw a car with the little for sale info written in the window that you could hear whining for half a mile and that looked legitimately like it had caught fire at some point. Also it's not uncommon to see cars that broke down in the middle of the road and are just abandoned for weeks til someone tows it away, which I never saw in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UwPp Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 If it's just you most of the time in the vehicle, I suggest some sedan. But I drive an equinox and be an aunt to 6 kids plus I like to travel. So I like the roominess of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like being low to the ground and it just feels zippier to me. Though I have been thinking about getting a truck just for the utility. It might even help me find a side job that I can just do when I have free time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue_Alphonse Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I still ride the wave of ways around inspection (except my truck, because its new enough to just pass). Really because of emissions. And some states only have emissions. Like sure, a kid ran out in the street after a ball and my clapped out shitbox lost brakes and murdered the kid, but at least it had catalytic converters.
