Actually it doesn't even have to be inspected to be sold... Sucky deal sometimes because then you really don't know what your getting unless you have it inspected by someone else.

I guess in a way inspection is good. in others it sucks especially if you like to modify from what is stock

Safety and emission inspection every 12 months in Texas unless you live in one of the areas nobody else wants to live in.

I feel ya pain. Be glad you don't have modified inspections like WV has. Then it would cost $25 instead of $12 like normal. No emmisions, but they are **** about catalytic converters and the pipe has to exit outside the body of the vehicle behind the rear wheels. Exposed tread fails you and they recently banned fender flares more then 2 inches over stock.

In the laws they even measure how many turns your steering wheel turns lock to lock. Less than 3 and more then 5, or if you run fender/frame/swaybar you fail. It sucks so bad! But hope you get your sticker bub. If all else find a guy you can just "buy" a sticker from. To bad mod stickers are more mandated and watched over...

I wish they dident have inspections honestly unless you were buying a car from a dealer or a used dealer lot. But that should be more or less a safety inspection etc so you dont get a lemon

I feel that you should have saftey inspections. As long as it drives good and all the factory saftey devices are function properly, good to go. No measuring flares and "listening" to the exhaust to determine if it's "gutted" or not and no tint darker than 70% (as per PA tint laws). But without inspections I hate to admit you'd get some pretty amazing death traps on the road.

I've seen some back woods crawlers that the owners would put on the road in a heartbeat if it was legal and I keep that in mind when the inspector gives me a few things to fix. The punishment for being wreckless should be stiff, then people would think twice about rediculasly exposed tread and 6 inch body lifts and we could do away with saftey inspections! But then the goverment would find another way to get there money each year for the former inspection charges lol.
