6 years worth of insurance cards, all of them still in their perforated sheet of paper. Gonna be a long time to filter through those to find the right one if I ever get pulled over.

lol, glad I'm not the only one. The recent one is still setting on my desk with probably ten expired in the glove box.

Heh. On our expedition (big SUV for those across the pond) the jack is inside a back cover in the rear. One day I decide I better check to make sure everything is there and there was a wrapped condom. The wife was not amused.

The truck had to be the gently caress wagon express.

Fakeedit: Remember that Top Gear episode with the convertible E30s?

I forgot what we ended up doing. I think I grabbed it with a pair of pliers and we probably Lysol'ed the whole SOB. Last year I was blowing leaves to my curb and noticed a condom wrapper in the pile. Probably from screwing in the park or something.

Another car I bought (twas my 5 speed SHO, RIP you glorious bastard) and for the first time after a few months had to use defrost. Wife was riding shotgun. As the windshield started fogging up the words "eat me!" appeared in front of her. Again she was not amused. I must buy vehicles from horny owners.

They are bored and/or looking for cigarettes or other paraphernalia you might have.

The thing that pissed me off the most was they didn't have the courtesy to shut the glove box and it drained my battery. Besides having everything strewn throughout the interior.

Indiana made insurance a requirement for scooters and mopeds, effectively loving over all the DUIers who skirted the law.

Definitely cut them down. Been awhile since I've seen one.

Couple years ago I was standing in line at the liquor store. Basically a blizzard outside. In walks a guy with the biggest parka I've ever seen. Made the Michelin man look svelte. He buys a case beer.

Straps it to his scooter under his feet. Was probably nicely chilled by the time he made it home.

The old mechanic's tale I've always heard is that an old car is more environmentally friendly than a new one because the old car already exists. So the extra gas you buy (and burn) is, in theory, offset by not having to run factories or make more plastic or pay an ocean freighter to deliver the car.

Not sure the concept scales (if every car from the 1970's was still on the road pollution would be an even bigger issue) but it does seem like there's a good argument for enthusiasts to continue to run whatever they want.

Yeah, imagine the environmental impacts if they did some tax deal trading in your perfectly good old car and then destroying them.

I have stoplight conversations almost every day I drive the C2. Last night it was a guy in a late model Mustang who misses his 67 302. Last week it was a guy in a GT3 who misses his 68 Camaro. Ten minutes before that, it was a guy who misses his dad's 60-something Riviera.

Nobody wants to talk to someone in a late model Accord.

Probably one (out of a few) cool stoplight cars I've seen was a '69 Hemi GTX. Just driving it like it should be during the day.

It's mostly the taxes. It can also be the "zero emissions/inspection" aspect of the registration, but it's mostly the taxes. This article claims on an exotic, this can easily amount to six figures.
Pretty sure that car has never been to Montana.

You are quite correct, talking about a different outcome of a different scenario. My apologies.

Reasonable and prudent has been gone since... 1999? Repealed for actual speed limits the same year I got my license there.

There's also no sales tax in Montana which states sometimes take on registration.

Reasonable and prudent was only during daylight.

PA definitely does this and it’s horse poo poo. Why the gently caress should a 20 year old Mazda 626 still draw sales tax on its ninth owner?

Yeah, I know. At least in our state you can write "gift" for the price on the title and not be taxed. They only basically ask what your relationship is.

But boy they don't like refunding license plate fees/taxes.

In PA they don’t even ask anymore about the relationship if you say gift, but you have to find a seller/buyer who is willing to go along. Just abolish the tax; most people skirt it somehow.

Sure. If I sell a car to someone that is worth a few grand I'll do a wink and write in $250. Granted, discretion is required.

Getting my $30 or $40 bucks back from a car I had licensed and tagged then hauled away was a fun one. Got the deer in headlight look at the BMV. Then I realized quite a few people don't ask for a refund on their taxes for vehicles let go.

Heh. Family member had a 1970 or so Pontiac Grand Prix SJ. Orange/black. 400. As a kid it was the coolest loving car ever. And those doors ranked up there as well size wise. Was blown away with a console shift and the doors needed the straps so you could reach them.

For the record, this one is highly regarded for CGI. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YozMDzOAGxk
