I used to live in that Godforsaken state years ago. Brought my 69 charger R/T 440 4 speed to the state inspection nazis and I had a Hurst T handle shift knob on it. Idiot flunked me for no shift pattern on it. I took it to local reinspect place. The guy gave me a post it note and a pen. Said draw your shift pattern. So I did. He sticks the post it note on my chargers dash and says looks like you have a shift pattern to me. Scrapes the failed sticker off, and slaps in a good one says I am good to go. I stuck the post it note in my ashtray and drove off.
