    2014 Lexus IS250 on the wholesale lot at CarShop; I suspect that this car ended up here because it is ten years old and likely has well over 100K miles. Standards have been lowered since the various shortages, and the oldest vehicle I've seen for sale at CarShop in the last couple years was a 2004 Tacoma; I forget how many miles it had, but it was low...

    Only 25 of the 67 counties in Pennsylvania require emissions testing, but all vehicles not registered as antiques require a yearly safety inspection. If a vehicle fails an emissions test, it automatically fails the whole inspection, but it is possible to pass the emissions test with flying colors and fail the safety inspection; I've heard that it is technically illegal to do what has been done on this orange Scion IQ, but I see vehicles with two different stickers all the time. My truck technically failed a safety inspection last year because one of the sway bar links had rusted completely through, but it passed the emissions test. My mechanic put a new emissions sticker on it and put a safety sticker on it the next day when he replaced the sway bar link. The orange sticker is the safety sticker, and the blue one is for emissions...

    I do not believe that the IQ ever came from the factory with a backup camera, and this one is obviously aftermarket; I also believe that this car had an aftermarket touch-screen radio that the owner kept, because it had the factory stereo...

    I called it; I was walking back in the direction of my truck, when I thought "I'll bet that Scion failed its safety inspection because of something really stupid" and walked back to check the rear wiper. This is what I found...
