Yeah...Virginia is going crazy too. They've been testing gas caps for
YEARS. This is what we get for letting the tree huggers take over. I think
it would have been fair for them to allow modifications again once they
started using these dyno-based tests. There are lobbying groups for this
type of thing and I'd certainly like to see that happen. My dad's been an
inspector since the emissions tests were created and even he thinks these
new tests are a little over the top.

Anyone else know about or belong to the lobbying groups?

P.S. Tip: For DeLorean owners who get their gas cap tested, the DeLorean
cap is different than most other caps. The inspector may use the wrong
adapter and fail your car. Make him try all the other adapters before you
let him fail you. I ended up buying a new cap for no reason because of
this.
