wouldnt matter really, since my brother in law did the sticker.

ahhh...  The CEL isn't a safety issue.

I don't suppose he would do mine would he? I probably need the whole thing, but am not too sure it will pass...

unfortunatly i don't think he will.
he works at a dealership and they watch closely.
he said he couldnt do goonerzoobombies (and i didnt even tell him he was brown)
i think he does it/ gets away with it because i am 'family'
sorry

do you mean that you tightened the gas cap, and now there's no CEL? or are you saying the gas cap was too tight causing the CEL?

I finally got it inspected today. Good news is that it passed emissions, bad news is that it DID NOT pass safety.
I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE LITTLE SHOP IN MY TOWN! THEY NEVER CHECK ANYTHING!
He said that I need a new front driver's side ball joint and wheel bearing. Since it's a safety failure, I'm not supposed to drive it. Another piece of good news, once I get it fixed if I go back to the same shop, they will reinspect it for FREE! Weehaa!
Anyone know if I can just take it to another shop and have them inspect it? One that I know is lax. Or is it all computerized and I'm screwed now.

I think they always do that. They do in NH anyway.
I'm pretty sure you can take it to another place and they'd be none the wiser.
Hopefully you do still get those things fixed eventually, even if you pass.
Gotta keep the car safe to protect the kiddo.

Concord Lincoln Mercury charged me an additional $13 to reinspect when the SVT failed due to tires.
