I don't think the mechanic is being unreasonable here. Some will enforce the standards, no matter how stringent and others might pass where some wouldn't. I wish I had checked around at garages before getting my car inspected.

A large amount of underneath rust will also fail a car. I've tried to look into undercoating but I've heard it's worth getting done if just to be able to pass. I had a truck that failed nearly 10 years ago for too much rust.

Once again, it comes down to balance. People shouldn't be demonized for just trying to survive. I know people who lived/are living in campers and it's not fun during the winter time. These folks normally would rent an apartment but there aren't any that they can afford/too far from work.

On the other hand, if you're using a public lot/public property, pick up after yourself. I can see why these NIMBYs were riled up. Pretty soon, VT will be nothing but Boomer BANANA-NIMBYs that own all the property and hoard all the power. It's already there I believe.
