  The inspection laws are fine, but many of the inspectors try to pull
a fast one on people from out of state.  

  In Tidewater, Navy folks tend to be the main folks from out of state
and are easy to distinguish from long-time residents.  The same thing
went on in Charlottesville while I was there -- students from out of
state who went in to the garage for a state inspection tended to have
more problems, especially if they didn't put Virginia plates on the
car and replace their old state's county vehicle sticker with one
local to the area.

  When I moved up here I didn't get the inspection until after the
vehicle registration had been changed to a local address and the car
had a local sticker.  The guys at the garage thought I was a local
and gave me no problems.  A little prudence pays off.
