yeah, people think that VA is more strict because they have annual 
inspections, but I pass VA inspection every time... I don't know anyone 
that's passed the one-time MD inspection the first time.

I thought I would be smart once and left a frozen prop valve on a car 
that I'd bought when I took it in for inspection.  That would give the 
inspector something to catch, and it was something that I was going to 
fix anyway because it was an obvious safety issue.

The inspector didn't flag the prop valve, but *did* fail my windshield 
for being "too sandblasted."  I didn't fight him on it though because it 
was leaking, so I just busted it out myself, POR-15'd the lip, then had 
the glass guy come and glue a new one in for me.  Since I was in the 
groove I R&R'd the rear hatch window and painted that area as well (was 
an A2 chassis 16V GTI with the black sticker around the hatch window, 
the sticker was all sun damaged and cracked so I took it off and spray 
bombed the area flat black, nobody ever noticed!  Actually looked pretty 
good if I say so myself.)

That car I've had more glass out than an other; after I'd sold it some 
kids busted out one of the side windows and I ended up replacing it for 
the new owner because she didn't know how to DIY and the shop she took 
it to quoted something exorbitant to do the job...
