I can get around the tire shop monkeys easily because I take them loose wheels.

But in my state cars have to go in for safety inspection once a year, and they always lift them up to inspect the brakes and exhaust.

My W126 has the square beams under the front floor pans crushed a bit due to a lift. That was done before I got the car.

The W124 and W126 has the hard rubber lift pads which I can point out. What do I tell them regarding a W123?
