That's so funny! German cars have to go trough real inspections, it is nothing like an american inspection which is a total joke in comparison

I can assure you that the safety inspections I perform as a class 7 PennDOT certified inspector for the last 15 years are never a joke.

Compared to TUEV standards, those PA regulations are a joke, no offence intended. A motorcycle I own once failed the German inspection because the tires installed- the latest and greatest model from the correct manufacturer- were not yet approved by the TUEV. I had to remove them and hunt down a set of exact OEM tires.

Or maybe he got where he was going, parked his car and went inside, only to have this happen...
