D00d for that, I'd finish waiting in line for another hour and then kick his azz for about an hour when he's ready to go home. Then I'd kick his azz for another hour for making me wait 2 whole hours pointlessly. :D :boxing

Inspections are such a waste of time. Here in Hawaii we have to deal with the same crap you guys NJ.
About a year ago we had these stupid camera vans that would clock you take a picture of your front license plate, then mail you a ticket.
Well, my way around this was to just remove the front license plate from my truck. Never got one ticket.
Had to get the truck inspected and forgot to install the front plate. The guy fails me for no front plate. No problem I have the plate on me. I just zip tie it on, and alls fine, but I was still upset over something so stupid.
So, after he places the stickers on my truck I back out of his garage about two feet, and proceed to cut the zip ties off the and put the plate back under my seat. It was all worth it just to see this guys face. :lol: I go thru this annually

I was so friggin' pissed that I wanted to strangle the *****.
DON'T let them know you're pissed. When you return, make sure to thank him for giving you an excuse to play hokey an extra day. (e.g. Nothing beats jamming to the tunes while waiting in line.) You smiling will ruin his day! Schadenfreude back at ya....:cheers:
BTW If that doesn't work, do a burnout when you leave! :D

Re: Inspection station hell (1996Z15)
Sorry to hear about your incident. Just makes me thank God that I don't live in NJ anymore. The insurance sucked, the weather during the winter sucked, the pot holes sucked, the cost of living sucked, emissions testing sucked! :D
One of the best things that I don't have to worry about in my neck of the woods is NO MORE EMISSIONS TESTING! :hurray:
