Yeah that's my understanding too. I have a truck that doesn't run in my driveway, I ran out of money to fix it, it's locked sealed and covered, has been for the last three years, so no I will not get it inspected, especially considering it would have to be towed to an inspection station, which would be ridiculous. They can come after me if they want, I'll take them to court. If you're not driving it, it's technically "in storage" right? That's how I see it.

Yeah. The way I understand it is the intention of such laws is to avoid the situation I’m in where my neighbor has turned his yard into a junkyard right up to my property line. There are at least a dozen uninspected junk cars (among other various items of trash).

We have a law, but no one enforces it because he’s an asshole and no one wants to deal with him. I can’t afford a fence, so I don’t go outside anymore. I now completely understand why those laws exist, but they’re useless if they only enforce them on people like OP who try not to bother anyone and they think won’t throw a fit.
