Failing safety inspection


Jeeper

Recommended Posts

I hate that Texas has little ho-dunk places inspect your vehicle. They are not consistent at all. I failed because of my air intake(K and N Filter). I guess I need a regular box intake and not an open air one. What a load of crap. Of course it was on there the last 2 years and passed but now I manage to find the anal retentive inpection guy. banghead.gifbanghead.gifbanghead.gifbanghead.gif

UPDATE:

I (being the sceptic that I am) called the TX dot and found out that the rejections given to me are total BS. I got a local area supervisors number and the email that they sent confirming this. Tomorrow I am going to go back to that little arrogant prick that failed me and give him a load of crap. (the guy was a total ass when he failed me)

Be nice as possible while subtly rubbing his nose in it... it's so much more pleasing to see them trying to squirm out of their skin.

Good luck, man!

That is the attitude I am going in there with. If he gives me some crap I am getting his manager there while we discuss his incompetence with the TX DOT supervisor. Normally I wouldnt ever be rude about it but this guy was such an enormous prick when he failed me.

TL,

:D:D:D

The saga continues.

I go down there yesterday and was extremely nice to the guy. While I was waiting for him I called the field supervisor whose name I got from the official I talked to earlier. This guys definition conflicted with the offical. I have been on the phone and fax non-stop for the last two days. The reason I dont just fix it is because I discovered that the idiot who put the exhaust in did it in such a way that I would have to replace the entire thing. I just talked to the legal counsel at DPS and he couldnt give me an opinion on the matter since that would be illegal for him to do since he is counsel for DPS and only advises them. what a mess!!!

3 days of being a persistant SOB payed off and I got approved. Yippee for my stuborn attitude.

:D

The fight I had with the rabies control people last year was better though. I had the city attorney calling to get rid of me that time. :D
