Stupid Inspection

Soooooo I went to get my inspection today and they told me my Miata won't pass because I took the turn signals out and just mounted the bulbs. Which sucks because I lost the lenses, anybody know where I can get a cheap pair of lenses or hell just borrow a pair so that I can get my inspection. The idiot at the inspection place was like just run to the STEALERSHIP and get a pair...I was like, you're an idiot do you know what that will cost.

Go out to your Miata and flip the headlights up, peel the black weatherstripping back and there is a premade hole that the bulb fits into. Feed the buld from the bottom and go in with the harness from the top and voila you have TSI's. Looks pretty cool because during the day it's just a hole but at night it lights up orange. Takes about 5 minutes to do.

Well, it is Rockwall county. And, I'm pretty sure it would pass in Cooke.

Seriously doubt that, here is why it failed: from DMV Inspection Criteria

I wish it was that simple here. I hope by now you have gotten it inspected. If not good luck.

I have to replace my passenger rear tire before I do anything, the first place I went to told me no because I had a roll bar, what kind of shit is that? I lived here 7 years ago and had a turbo nitrous Civic and you could throw a dude 40 bucks and they would deliver the sticker to your house, damn I miss those days!
