A friend of mine who failed state inspected was flagged and sent to the MAC center. With a car that he can not drive and a failed inspection for something he was unaware of he was now looking for help. He went on a forum to ask for help, He had a discussion with what he thought was a fellow enthusiast. When he went back to the MAC center to reinspect, the inspector called him out accusing him that he knew his car was chipped and modified. The owner of the car said he had no clue that his car was chipped and bought it that way. the inspector pulled out a printed screen shot of his conversation with the "fellow enthusiast"

This is real be careful who you talk to online.

 

What is a MAC center? That inspector has way too much time on his hands.

 

motorist assistance center, i went to one and he was a good guy and very helpful, not helpful enough to get me to apss though lol, his suggestion was to start removing mods and see which ones are causing the fail

 

Interesting. I moved from MA just a few years ago but have never heard of these MAC's. Are they new?

 

i honestly dont know, i had never heard of them until i had trouble passing inspection and someone suggested it

no sign on the door, tucked out of the way in a crappy part of framingham, took me ages to find the damn place, didnt look like they were busy with anything, i went there a couple of times and there was never anyone in there except for the guy running it and his weird assistant, I half expected to be murdered...then raped

 

WOW,thats unbelievable..That really sucks.
Sorry to say this,,any problems with anyone that would go out of their way to make your live hard?..

 

Spies are everywhere

 

Sounds like to mod Gestapo!

Glad we dont have air tests where I live!!

 

I feel all warm and cozy knowing the nanny state is looking out for our well being. I hope they never entertain this type of silliness here in Oklahoma.

 

I bought a Mazdaspeed back in the day that blew up 5 days after i bought it and the service manager pulled up transcripts from the mazdaspeed forum where i asked for advice on what went wrong and what to do... which they consequently voided the warranty on the entire car for. yay! And just my luck the ownership group now owns the only Porsche dealer within 400 miles.

 

Did you confess to beating on the car in your thread?

 

And..........this makes me happy to live in South Georgia where they have never heard of emmissions inspections.............

 

Must be from corvetteforum. Hitler would he scared of those mods

 

I could never decide what annoyed me more there: the mods or all the old guys that can turn any post into something political.
