View From the Bushes

So, I went to get my car inspected for safety and emissions. It failed safety, which I expected, but not for the reasons I expected. What I expected was that they were going to tell me to get new tires, which I do need. Instead, they failed it because there's a little yellow light on the driver's side of the car about six inches back from the headlights (I guess the technical term would be a running light?) and it doesn't work, so they failed it... Oh, and I guess the license plate lights don't work either... I guess I should be happy because those repairs are a lot cheaper than new tires, but I'll have to get tires eventually and it's just difficult for me to imagine that those two lights are really safety issues and not some mechanic being overly anal.

Since the inspection took up most of my lunch, that's all I have time for. Catch you on Monday.
