One of the cops was like "Wow, you're over a year expired?!?". I told him the car had been out of commission and I just got it running again and was planning to get the inspection right away. That was a boldfaced lie and the Z was actually over 2 years expired. He gave me a warning

Z is currently expired as of Nov 2017. Hasn't stopped me

I've been there - but never with the Z. That's the stuff I had to do back in college to survive. Working, going to school, and living on my own - I do not miss those days. Ramen noodles, hotdogs for meat, a budget so thin that the choice was usually food or fuel. Paying for the luxury of an inspection was not possible.

The cost for an inspection is $25. And the Z would have no trouble passing inspection.

It was pure laziness. And the fact that I knew I wouldn't get in trouble for it. Worst case if I actually got a ticket, I would go get the inspection and mail in my appearance with proof of inspection and a $10 dismissal fee. Turns out three warnings were enough motivation.

Currently, the TPMS light is on on the Z, so I need to turn that off before I can pass. Which is dumb as hell if you ask me. TPMS sensors are pointless. I can tell the tire is low long before the damn light comes on

I failed mine last year doe to the windshield wipers leaving streaks on the windshield apparently... Lady wanted $40 for replacements.

I walked out the door, over to the local parts shop. Bought 2 bosch wipers for $22, walked back in and made her "install" them while I watched.

In PA they hit you for both mechanical and emissions inspections, usually about $80.
