Ok I was told by the local cops that if my car is not inspected by the time they see me next my ass is grass. So , I have been working on it. Got my ebrake hooked up, but ofcorse, its frozen. I think I can slide on that hopefully, it is an auto. My question is, my car is an 84, doesn’t that mean it only has to have lap belts? To my understanding, cars from pre '85 only need lap belts. Thats what I have heard anyways. If so, I’m cool, if not, I gotta find some belts asap.

by “ass is grass”, do they mean they will give you a ticket? Because that is about all they can do about an expired inspection…

Well, evidently having kinda shitty brakes is a misdemeanor and they can arrest me lol. My sister was talking to one of the cops in town and was like "hypotheticly speaking, if you have XXXXXXX,XXXXXXX and XXXXXXX wrong with your car, what would happen…well they figured out it was me in like .000001 seconds and yeah.

Try taking it to an oil change place to do the inspection. Would be your best bet. If you fail fix only what you need to pass. Try to get the e-brake at least partially functional though.

She was talking to him “hypothetically” and didn’t give any clues it was me, they figured it out fast though because who else would do something like that? I have a 2004 inspection sticker lmfao.
