ABSOLUTELY! I've failed for having lights that are "too dim", cracks in rubber guides on the sway bar (which is not even a required component), and a skull on the roof. No chance i'd even try to go in for inspection without a working MPH speedo. Not only that, the Odometer has to work. They take it on a test drive and the mileage has to increase respectively as they drive. -Craig On Tue, Jul 13, 2010 at 7:22 PM, Greg Potts <greg@pottsfamily.ca> wrote: > Hi Craig, > > Each of those attributes is present in a typical vehiclular GPS.
