They have poles with mirrors on the end of them to verify the cats are present. This kid runs the mirror under the drivers door, I guess he was happy with seeing nothing but floor.

Then everyone in the place comes over and embarrasses me with picture taking, hooting and hollering. I'm not a look at me kind of guy so I was pretty uncomfortable. While one was giving a class on Porsche history, which was completely wrong, the other was telling everyone he wishes he could afford a Porsche.

Anyway, the car passed with just the OBD II hook up and I was happy to be out of there. When I say seeing a Porsche is like seeing Bigfoot in my area I wasn't joking.

Too funny. The best part was:

"While one was giving a class on Porsche history, which was completely wrong"

Love that line.

I am certain that the guy with the mirror had zero idea where to look for the cats.

You should have opened the boot and blown all their minds!

Thanks for sharing.

It is so painful to watch those kids pull your car up. Last time, they stalled my car twice trying to get it out of the bay.

Glad you passed, I have never had a problem with or w.o. cats!
