bigbillystyle posted:Maybe they are his inspection tires? I had a lovely 1982 Ford Bronco and it came with big rear end tires that stuck out a little bit so I had a set of stock Bronco wheels and tires that I stuck on it to make it legal for Massachusetts inspection. I'd end up driving around on them for a little while before switching back over to the big tires. It's in Waukesha, Wisconsin. e: Waukesha is an inspection county here, but still, it's emissions only here. iospace fucked around with this message at 02:10 on Sep 16, 2016 |

Terrible DMV story here. I got a motorcycle from my dad a few years back and went to register it in California finally because I had been working on it this entire time, it's a 2001 and was wrecked in 2002 and sat around broken until I got it. Everything goes fine at the DMV, get my registration and plates. Few months go by and I just got a letter in the mail saying the registration is invalid unless I can prove I got it as inheritance or in a divorce. The papers say that because it was brought in from out of state (non-CA emissions spec) and under 7500 miles, it's against the law to import it to California. I'm gonna have to spend another day back at DMV to figure out what the gently caress this is even about.

Nuevo posted:Holy poo poo, an image search for 'blurple' is a goldmine of terrible car stuff. I guess I should take responsibility because he actually came into my office talking about ideas for colors and I helped him with a google image search. I tried to steer him more towards a deep blue but he saw some Honda or Acura he liked and I had to help him find the paint codes for it. He came to work today and I noticed the "MUSTANG" indentation on the rear bumper now had white stickers in it, and I heard him tell a coworker that tonight he'd put the "running horses stickers" on it. I'll have to get a photo for the thread once he's run out of ideas.

Take it to Oregon and get it plated up there with one of the grey-market importers. I know a couple of people who've done that with bikes that aren't California legal.

Montana is good for that too, though it's usually done for tax evasion reasons. You pay a dude to register an LLC in your name, the company gets the vehicle, and it gets permanent Montana plates. Probably not worth doing to a bike due to the annual cost of the company but it is an option.

If you leave it on the side of the freeway, get it stolen, then get it back with more than 7500 miles, does that work? E: plus you get the insurance money in the meantime, right? Bonus!

mobby_6kl posted:How many miles is it missing? Nobody says it has to be ridden on the street. Pop it on the stand, tape throttle open and go about your day. ferrisbuellersdayoff.txt Dude, the odometer was clearly damaged before the bike was crashed. Bad cable / speed sensor? You had to replace it, right? And your father must remember riding it for a couple of seasons without a speedometer, and he could write you a letter stating as much, right? Seems odd that this would have slipped his mind earlier, but he's getting on in years...

You should hook it to a water wheel so it doesn't add wear and tear to your drill.

BraveUlysses posted:i appreciate jokes about Everett This does not surprise me too much. Everett is a magical place. I take 99 to/from work sometimes, it's a little longer than the freeway, but it's an exciting glimpse into a world of fart canned cars and bikini "totally not prostitution, we promise" coffee stands, most of which are now shut down, but before it was like one every 10 feet.

Everett ain't what it used to be. Lived there for ~5 years as a wee one in the early 80's and all I remember is the green river killer and the fish bowl. And the family across the street had a giant garden where we'd go eat ourselves sick on blueberries in the summer. Also walking to school, by myself, as a first grader. None of that exists in Everett today. I can't even find the street where we lived on the map, nothing looks like my 6 year old brain recorded it.

I stopped in Everett to get some windshield wiper blades because one of mine disintegrated right around there on a road trip. The only store within 10 miles of the highway with wipers was a NAPA that was straight out of the 70's, including the owner who was wearing white bell bottoms and had a 'fro. Google said there were more stores, like autozone or (at the time) shuck's autoparts, but the first one was boarded up, and the second one was on a street that was blocked off by police because there was a multi-fatality accident. That's my story thanks for reading.

I went into downtown Everett a few years ago for a coffee and bite to eat, aside from it being mostly forgettable and the parking lots being weird, I don't remember it being that bad.
