But then I would be abbreviated PPG and that's a painter, not a panther.... Oh! Wait a minute painter is a colloquialism/synonym for puma. Gotta think about this a while!

They eliminated headlight aiming because of incompetence or fraud by the inspectors.

Each year almost 50% of the citizens were being charged for headlight aim testing as they received their vehicle inspection.
Through review of a substantial number of vehicles, only 3% actually required headlight aim adjustment.

They have a new one now! My locking gas cap won't pass inspection. The guy has a supply of caps willing to sell! So I'm out an additional $11.50 plus tax, so I can leave and reinstall my locking cap. The gentleman the told me the old cap would have been releasing lots of vapors and I would see an increase in my gas mileage. He must think the vapor pressure of gasoline is something akin to butane.
I am, at least temporarily , Perturbed Puma Guy!

One solution is to buy a car with real, tempered GLASS headlights, like a Volvo! (I know, I know, buying a Volvo is like voting for you-know-who, but the NRA window sticker on mine has got to confuse people).

Gas cap thing can be real - even though it sounds like a scam
Its related to the the newer cars with fuel injection - many cars these days will even throw a check engine light if your cap is defective or if you fail to put it back on correctly
