In NY we have to be inspected before registration, except new ones. I got caught in a bad one with Shagg when she was out of state and stations didn’t want to inspect it unregistered but I couldn’t register it uninspected.

Here in the Wild West (Oklahoma), inspections have not been required for more than two decades.
Drive at your own risk.

I used some silicone around the gasket which fixed it. Also installed new headlights and installed the Laminex film yesterday. I started sanding the old headlights, but it was soon clear (or not so) that it would take me forever to get the old coating off. I got TYC ones from Amazon at a very good price. I'm still working on some paint correction, but it's coming along. And she passed emissions on Saturday, which is great. Now I can finally register her on Saturday.
strange...I register first, they asked me for registration during inspection.

Yes, they do things differently here in CT. I wish they would let you register the car first, so that you can legally drive to the inspection station.
But this way you are forced into buying expensive temp tags.

We get a free 10 day inspection tag deferment to give you time to get it sorted.

We're like Lugnut - Fenders? Mirrors? Brakes? HA!!

Inspection? We only need that if it's a salvage titled vehicle that's been repaired, and only to be able to get a rebuilt title for it.

I’m terrified driving through some of these states, wondering what’s on the road.

Even with my annual inspections, and I like to think I stay on top of my fleet, I still catch myself on worn out brakes on occasion.

The Bavarian money waster just got new rears after 60k/6 years but they were down to the last 1mm…yikes

I love that on Volvo , you can see the pads with the car on the ground.

Our state requires lights I believe.

Nothing in CT is for free, in fact, temp tags are seriously expensive. But luckily the inspection station is only 1/2 mile from my house

And they will at least test unregistered vehicles
