D'ya know how to test the emissions of a VW
converted to electric?
A friend of mine could not satisfy the DMV until he welded a piece of pipe
to the underside for the "tailpipe test" (aka "rectal probe")
I had a similar problem with a convertable car. They failed me because I
didn't have a roof on my car. Their claim was, they couldn't inspect the
rear windows to make sure they weren't broken.
I actually had to look up the laws and then bring the appropriate title
back to the station with me to show that their is no requirement for
having a roof on your car in NJ (you only need to have a windshield).
Of course, I could have just put the roof back on my car, but I was much
happier proving the idiots wrong.
