So I am thinking what crazy liberal bureaucratic #$%&%$$ idiot came up with this B.S......
As I was bitching about it, one of the employees in my political organization reminds me this difficult procedure is the result of clean air legislation that went through the state legislature a few years back - and this is the critical part - that I lobbied for!!!!! . In fact, I made it the top political priority of that year and called in a lot of favors to make sure it had Republican support.
So that clearly means I win the biggest idiot award, or at least the biggest hypocrite award.

Does your state (like Virginia) have one of those scam systems where you are just supposed to go to a local repair shop who checks you out (and, of course, happens to find thousands of dollar to get repaired?)
The DC one sucks, because there is always a ridiculous line, but at least you don't have to pay for it separately, and the government employees who run it have no financial incentive find something wrong.*
*at least since the end of the last Berry administration.
