---Inspection!---
I just passed state inspection (NJ) about 10 min ago, but upon doing so they had this pop up lift that lifted the car from who knows where (engine cradle)???
Sorry for the bad pic, the inspectors were yelling at me to get out of there and turn off the camera... whatever, didnt stop me!
I wanted to show you guys and ask for input whether this could damage anything. The stupid lift popped out of the ground like there was a fire lit under it and then it just dropped the car! I wasnt happy with that!
Plus, they were a little rev happy with my Vette. They only reved the other cars once to like 2000 rpms but mine they had to at least hit 4k! Only I can rev to 4K!
Oh well, I passed and they didnt even do an exhuast check which was surprising. They just used the OBDII port to check, which means if you dont have cats and run O2 simulators you can pass
!
Maybe now I will get my exhaust!!!

I would be out there beating the crap out of someone if they lift my car like that and then rev it that high with no reason. As for the taking of pic if it not a dealership they can not tell you to stop taking pic because it open to anyone.

FILE something on the A-HOLES, those sh!! for brains always pull that crap by me. I have had gas caps cut off, I have had one of my mustangs roll away in N. That is absurd, Most of the idiots barely know how to drive let alone be doing anything that could result in structural damage.

Seriously....while it may have alarmed you a bit, 4K isn't going to hurt your engine in the least. I do suggest another inspection facility....it does sound like they're a bit careless. Are your facitilites independent shops or state run stuff? I have a trusted mom and pop shop that does my inspections...same one Shbbykins uses.

In my state Pa. a few years ago they told us they were going turn inspection over to state police and spent $$$$$$$$$$ on building facilates all over the state,no more private stations. Just before they were about to open they closed them all. VERY INTERESTING I THOUGHT. No real expaination just usual gov. BS
