one advantage of a white Yaris...

I would venture to guess there are more people driving cars with expired tags or inspection stickers vs. light problems.

I agree. And inspection stickers , primarily a money grab from the state and a nod to any 'lobby' that may be representing inspection station interests, along with a fine (rather than just a sign off fix it ticket) for no front plate. Can't complain though, given no state income tax, flat car registration fee tied to the age of the car rather than initial cost, fairly low property tax (high rate, but great value per dollar for housing), fairly cheap energy, cheap food, cheap gas etc. I wonder how many states even have mandatory inspections. Unless things have changed in the last two years or so, California doesn't.
