Yeah, I needed it. It didn't pass, but I get a free re-test within 30 days or 1000 miles, whichever comes first. Since the inspection tag expires tomorrow, that would be 30 days.
1) Brake master cylinder leaking (yeah, well, it usually will when one of the 4 clippy things isn't clipped on the cover..UGH).
2) Power steering hose clamp failing and power steering fluid leaking everywhere.
3) Steering box covered in fluid (most likely from aforementioned failing hose clamp) and can't tell if it's leaking.
4) Brake lines rusty and wet (again, from both aforementioned leaks). The rust I can take care of once they're cleaned with the rust converter stuff.
5) Supposedly, the cotter pins on the driver's side ball joints are missing. Since I installed them myself (and got bloody from slipping and hitting the stupid ends), I know dang well they're installed. But I will check.
6) Battery loose.
Oops on that last one - I never checked the clamp. It was a brand-new battery and I made the mistake of assuming it had been installed by someone with a brain. When I changed out the side terminals, it didn't rock so I never even considered that it was loose.
The passenger-side headlight needed to be aimed (which they did). I did better on the driver's side, apparently
Won't be home this weekend, so I'll have to do all that (weather permitting) after work next week when I can.
