Texas is now a one sticker state. Inspections go into the computer database and are checked to be current when you renew registration. So when I get home I’ll pay online to register and get a 10/17 sticker in the mail in a few days.
One week ago I took my Forester to a small garage for its state inspection. But their computers were down so they couldn’t do it. The guy who greeted me was bummed because he had never seen a 6MT Forester before and really wanted to drive it. I told him I’d bring it back next Saturday if he was working so that he could take it for a spin. I figured the tags were already expired anyway so no big deal. Came back today, and asked for him to do the inspection. His manager laughed and called him a dork but said OK. Waited until he was done doing an oil change on a 2013-ish V6 Camry. (Looked like these use a cartridge filter?) After he did the inspection he called me outside and said thanks for waiting and bringing it back so he could drive it and I don’t owe anything. The guy was about 20 years old and was excited to drive an oddball MT crossover. Feels good to see there is a next generation of enthusiasts out there. Also it’s great to see a little enthusiasm at the shop. I’ll be bringing my cars back there in the future I’m sure.

The techs at my dealership always remember me as the guy with the manual Outback. Definitely comforting knowing there are some enthusiasts working there.

It was annoying when you safety inspection expired at a different time than your registration. I preformed a safety inspection on the 1 series myself this year.
Expired safety inspection?
Not any more.

Yep Subaru started a transition from 5-speed to 6-speed transmissions with the previous genration Outback/Legacy. The current Forester got it when it came out in ‘14. The Non-STI WRX got it in ‘15. The Impreza/Crosstrek is soldiering on with the 5-speed and the manual is now dead in the current Legacy/Outback.
