Maryland can bite me:

So my car failed the state inspection again. After I spent altogether about $600 getting it fixed, I discover that the tie rod needs to be replaced, the car needs to be realigned, and the headlights, which the EXACT same guy said were within specs 10 days ago are now messed up. The cost? $886. Nope. Not getting it done. I'm going to take it to a different place and try again.

The best part about this is that the guy told me that the tie rod wasn't likely to break, so the impact of the replacement is that my tires won't wear out as fast. On my 14 year old car with 130000 miles and new tires on it. Yeah, like I care.
