There are certain things that one just should not do - ever - and one of them is getting a car inspected for registration on the last day of the month. About a month ago we purchased a used SVU but could not get it registered since we did not have the proper paperwork. Today, we received everything and set out to have the car inspected.
I've seen grass grow faster.
There were at least 6 lines of cars waiting to drive into a huge warehouse for inspection. We waited 3 1/2 hours, literally parked in line with no way out, in a very questionable part of town. My biggest amusement was playing with the radio, studying Spanish verb conjugations, and watching a herd of horses run by down the main street. For a city that is booming with cars, I'm surprised that there isn't a quicker, more economical way to complete the process.
And no, the SVU didn't pass inspection. One of the parking lights was burned out, but at least we have a 15 day grace period.
