I thought Ohio's salvage car inspection to make the title rebuilt was
annoying. Boy, I'm sure glad that I don't live in one of these states.
Vermont is nice, I've heard, with NO titles for vehicles over 15 years
of age; just bill of sale to register the car!

Me, I'm blessed to live in an area with NO emissions or inspection. I
literally drive whatever I want, and pick up cars from Pennsylvania that
won't pass their state inspection for sometimes just a few hundred dollars.
