Got Herbie inspected, cost $28.

Found some more rust that may end up causing trouble... I don't like doing rust repair, so I may not end up keeping Herbie after this inspection unless I can get it decently fixed enough to pass again next year, or find a cleaner chassis to swap the diesel into, or find a project to fit it to, like a 2000-ish Dodge Caravan, or an AWD Subaru Legacy... I have one of those already, but the Subie needs a bit of work, possibly a new transmission/axles/whatever.
