Wow, that really puts some context to those Escondido Driving While

yeah, people think that VA is more strict because they have annual
inspections, but I pass VA inspection every time... I don't know anyone
that's passed the one-time MD inspection the first time.

I thought I would be smart once and left a frozen prop valve on a car
that I'd bought when I took it in for inspection. That would give the
inspector something to catch, and it was something that I was going to
fix anyway because it was an obvious safety issue.

The inspector didn't flag the prop valve, but *did* fail my windshield
for being "too sandblasted." I didn't fight him on it though because it
was leaking, so I just busted it out myself, POR-15'd the lip, then had
the glass guy come and glue a new one in for me. Since I was in the
groove I R&R'd the rear hatch window and painted that area as well (was
an A2 chassis 16V GTI with the black sticker around the hatch window,
the sticker was all sun damaged and cracked so I took it off and spray
bombed the area flat black, nobody ever noticed! Actually looked pretty
good if I say so myself.)

That car I've had more glass out than an other; after I'd sold it some
kids busted out one of the side windows and I ended up replacing it for
the new owner because she didn't know how to DIY and the shop she took
it to quoted something exorbitant to do the job...

yeah Maryland has a strict inspection,but you only have to do it
once. My last two cars went right though inspection. (it helps to
know someone)

The reason I asked is that a friend lent me his Arizona
car and he has a valid registration sticker but he didn't
have the registration paperwork.

He says I don't need it because in AZ they don't need it.

So, that's why I need to know because it's registered but
I don't have the registration paperwork. He said he'd have
to ask the DMV but he said I should just use it without that.

Is the out-of-state tag on the plate good enough?

Is the tag the ONLY thing they give you?
If there is paperwork that goes with the tag they will want the paperwork.

You do indeed need it in Arizona. Says so right on the registration slip.

If you need a duplicate you can get it online from servicearizona.com
for a few bucks.

Back in the old days it had to be visible from outside the vehicle.
Anyone remember those registration holders that had springs to hold it
to the steering column?

I was just thinking about that. Or the one on the visor when you could
no longer get to the steering column.
