I hope it passes inspection
In New Hampshire it is required by law to have your vehicle inspected and reregistered once a year. This always happens in the month of your birth, which for me is June. So today I made an appointment to get my vehicle inspected next Friday, June 24th at noon. I hope it will pass. If it doesn't, lets just say I'm in serious trouble. I drive a 1995 green Dodge Caravan, (not by choice - I got the car as a result of the divorce) that just today notched 130,000 miles on the odometer. Quite an accomplishment, yes. Now each time I drive I set a record for most mileage on a car that I've owned. The point is, however, that the vehicle is worth next to nothing and it costs more to repair it than the bloody thing is actually worth.
I can envision the car inspection guy telling me that it needs brakes, tires and who knows what else. And I have $0 to pay for any of it, should these things occur. I also have $0 to put down on a new car as I write and a really crappy credit rating. Meaning that according to my credit report, no creditor in their right mind would help me finance a new vehicle. If I were a creditor and I came looking to me for a loan, I'd refuse myself....
If the beast by some miracle does pass inspection, then I'll have another 12 months to deal with it, or until it dies, whichever comes first.
