tried to get my car back on the road today, but was thwarted by the guy doing the inspection. said i couldnt have tape on my tail lights. this is on a grand marquis and the tape was barely visible.i told him that tape had been the for the las 4 years and for the last 4 years i had gotten it inspected there. then i asked ..what, does it need to be red. he says no, you cant have any tape at all. then i flew off the handle. does anybody know if the red tape is kosher for inspections.and if its illegal, why the hell do they sell the **** to begin with. yet another rant. ill try a different shop tomorrow.

 

I've had 2 people come into my store complaining about the exact same thing. Must be getting tighter inspection restrictions on tail lights?

 

no tape of any kind on any lights.

 

hmm....i appreciate it.
