Not my "source"... but thanks for the concern. One of my Vette buds told me about that place. It "may" have helped me, it "may" have not.

why will it not pass?... if it's something visual like window tint a lot of places may not even notice... if it is because of a cel on a 96+ car good luck, I have seen guys go to jail using different cars than what the inspection was intended for... if this is the case your best bet is to at least get it in passable condition as far as the emission part of the test goes

i found a place to pass me. they initially failed me because i had 3 not readys and am only allowed two (99 model). they told me to drive to Oklahoma and back and then bring it right back. i did and the retest only showed 1 not ready.

now i need to figure out the cheapest way to register it in my name from my father's name.
