Solution: Swap the battery before the inspection. The computer will register as a new battery and will not have enough time to register any system failures. As long as you do it only 25 miles from the station.
That damn light came on in my car; thankfully, I have an honest mechanic. He told me to tighten my gas cap and wait a few days to see if it turned off. It did. It's happened a couple of times since then and every time, it was related to the stupid gas cap.

I know a guy that the same thing happened to, but the mechanic bought an aftermarket cap and the light stayed on. It was not until they got a cap from the dealership that it was fixed. They can go through a ton of shit before the real issue is found. A smoke test can cost 60.00 plus a few hundred for labor can turn a simple inspection into a 500.00 bill.

There is a man who fills up his tank once every two months. One tank of gas, literally, lasts him two months. He is freezing the price of gas by freezing something else. David Hutchison is a Cryogenics expert. He built this Cryo-Process himself. A few years ago he began an experiment on his hybrid Honda, freezing the engine components. The results were a fuel-efficiency dream. A hybrid Honda typically gets really great gas mileage anyway, around 50 miles to the gallon, but David Hutchison's cryogenically tempered engine has been known to get close to 120 miles a gallon. Racers have picked up on David's trick of cryogenically freezing car parts. It is now widely accepted among NASCAR and Indy-car racers.

Hmmmmm very interesting.
I wonder if he ends up dying in conspicuously suspicious circumstances?

No doubt OP thinks covert operations are merely the byproduct of a conspiracy-nutter's imagination.

No doubt you give opie too much credit.

The US intelligence agencies have absolutely no interest whatsoever in anything anybody here says or does.
That is 100% accurate.
