Car inspection fail

I walked out yesterday morning and had a $50 ticket on my car because when I failed inspection, they gave me 20 days to fix the problem. Given the number of balls in the air, you can imagine this did not happen. So I let the ball drop. $50 fine, please.

What's extra special is that because I drive a 10-year old car, the part is taking a week to come in. This meant an extra trip to the DMV - Half Street (unlike most states, DC has one location for all car inspections) this morning so they could re-fail my car, thereby saving me from tickets for the next 20 days.

Because over the next 20 days, it's not like I have much else going on.
