Oh - that's easy! Go yell at your dealer who should fix the taillight and alleviate a rather annoying problem. Then pull your radar detector out for a day.

I have thick spider webs in one of my tail lights! Nice touch for Halloween, but would the dealer fix that, too?

Heres alittle something for you.....

Radar detectors arent illegal in NJ no, but if it is in the windshield or another part of the top of the dash which is in view of the windshield, you may still get written a ticket for ubstructed view.

For the record, "State Inspections" are among the biggest scams/extortion programs in the nation. I hope to God I never live in a state which goes that route. It's ONLY about finding ways to make money for the state...another form of taxation

NJ inspection is free. They provide facilities to do the inspections in a fairly efficient manner and while they might fail you for all sorts of stuff, I generally haven't had much of a problem with them. I have known which of my cars were "legal" and would pass before hand. On the other cars, I just have it inspected privately.

Also on new cars you do not have to get it inspected for 4 years. I will have over 110,000 miles on my 8 before it's due for inspection. Used cars it's every 2 years.

I got a $50 ticket in NJ for having a GPS suctioned to my windshield. It certainly wasn't obstructing my view. But according to the police officer anything attached to the windsheild is. I asked about the stock GPS, how it pops out, and if that would be considered an obstruction. He said no. Seems pretty retarted because my GPS is a palmpiolet which is alot smaller then the stock one.

One of my coworkers parents owns a shop. He has someone that comes in and does inspections. I think you have to pay though, like $30. If any one needs it let me know.
