Took the car up to Bakers Basin on Sat. for inspection and was kinda worried about 4 things.

1. E-brake might need some adjustment, its at the halfway point +/- in its travel

2. Cats are "missing" some "internal components"

3. Slight exhaust leak at the passenger side header/y-pipe band clamp

4. Block off plate at the cut out located just in front of the rear axle

So I remove the camera mount from the roll bar (kinda obstructs rear view mirror). I undo the back brace for the driver seat, so the seat is adjustable on the tracks in case a short dude jumps in and I put the blackout cover on the raptor shift light just so its one less thing to grab attention.

I take the car for a good run, get it nice and hot and proceed to the line. They stalled the car about 3 times. Asked all kinds of questions like how fast does it go? etc etc....after all that they failed me for a gas cap??? What the F? Are you kidding me? Your crack staff missed the exhaust leak, didn't pick up on the obvious smell from having cats that are "missing" some internal components, a block off plate on the cut out, but the you fail me on a gas cap? PLEASE. I just smiled, drove across the street got a new cap, and went back through the line. Good for another 2 years. I took the new cap back off and tucked it safely away for next time. They didn't pick up the front end? Never even popped the hood?

The guy at the end of the line was kinda of a big dude (not Schwartze****** big, but ReRun big) and he struggled to get in and out of the car and didn't really fit the 17" hip width of my Kirkey seats, it was funny watching him trying to get in and out. I was gonna bust balls, but figured I better not. (kinda like don't insult the chef until after you have your food)
