Learned'd VIII: Less Bewbs, Same Nonsense

[Ace2cool]

Just dropping by to say hi!

[Koshin]

Sup niggaz

[Ace2cool]

Oh snap what's up dude?

[Koshin]

Same crap dude. Messing with cars living the dream

[Dattebayo]

Got the brakes finished on the D21 today. Attempting to finally get it in for inspection tomorrow.

Recently there has been a crack-down on inspections and a lot of local places lost their licenses, so I'm probably going to get screwed. Here in MD we have a one-time inspection, so it's already stacked against us... fuuuuu

[float_6969]

Tell me more about these inspections? We don't have these things in Kansas

[Dattebayo]

They look at your car and tell you if it's what they consider safe, has all the emissions equipment that it came with and if it actually runs and doesn't spit black smoke everywhere you get a little yellow sheet with an autograph you couldn't give a sh*t about and a red "pass" stamp on it that you then have to take to the DMV and pay almost $200 to get two 1 inch square stickers with numbers on them and 2 metal plates with numbers and letters on them. You put the stickers in the top opposing corners of one of them and mount that one on the rear bumper and then mount the other plate on the front bumper and you magically can drive legally.

Yup.

Also, this:

We have those inspections in DE as well. It's actually easier to pass without the OBDII, like on your car. Can't lie to the scanner.

Eating ftw!

Mornin' peeps!

Also, this:

LOL, thanks for the explanation. I know what they are, but even when you explain it, it sounds even more ridiculous. Is it purely for emissions purposes?

LMAO, @ eating too! That's a good way to wake up.

Morning learned, what's for breakfast this morning?

[Ace2cool]

Bowl of cinnamon toast crunch. Gotta go to the DMV today and get my TN license. I love the DMV.... :/

[float_6969]

I'm having a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on an English muffin.

[Ace2cool]

Way cooler than what I had.

Fffffuuuuuuuuuu I don't wanna go to the DMV. Someone motivate me.

[sx moneypit]

DMV is a blast here in Memphis.

[Dattebayo]

I have to motivate to drop off the truck and walk home 2 miles, then walk back when they're done. You got it easy, pal.

If only we humans could split ourselves in two so we could get more done...

[numbnuts240]

they still use stickers on the plates for inspections in md? we used to have that. people would peel them off other cars and put them on their own s*** boxes. then people started slicing them with razors so they wouldn't peel off nice, so the thieves just started stealing the entire plate, or cut off the corner of the plate (giving them more time in a secure locale to peel them off and jigsaw them back onto their plates). then the state went to windshield decals. that lasted a few years and now we have no visible indication as to whether your emissions is current or not. it's all electronic now.

[Ace2cool]

back from the dmv. And California is still hanging me up. They didn't clear a ticket from my license when I paid it. Now It's suspended and I can't get my TN license. f***. That. State. Wish I had never f*** gone there. f***.

[Razi]

LOL

We still use stickers in Utah and Idaho. Even better: my current sticker is good through January 2015. In Utah, the stickers have built-in scoring in an X-pattern so you can't remove them without tearing them into little pieces. Once I was a dope and put my month sticker over my year sticker...got me pulled over but all they did was let me know I fail at stickers.

Also, because I'm working graves again this week (well...some of this week) I decided I should share my 1pm Breakfast of Champions with you all:

I believe I have uttered those exact words!

[Dattebayo]

Yeah we still got stickers, but they have a code or an ID number on them so you cant steal them, supposedly. Of course, this means an up-close and personal inspection is required to see what's actually going on is needed.

And I didn't get to it today. Damn sinus dryness and inflammation keeping me near the humidifier. I need to invest in a sauna for reals.

[sx moneypit]

Good morning!

[WDRacing]

Mornin...

[float_6969]

Morning all. Headed to the doctor this morning to get my wife checked out. She'll be 41 weeks pregnant tomorrow (that's a week over due for those who don't know). They'll let us go another week before they start to get worried. I want my daughter to be here already!!!

[frapjap]

Morning fellas- king crab market is down, only $15.99/lb. Cheaper than scallops! Get on it.

They still use stickers in Illinois on the rear plate for license plate renewal. People used to steal stickers off cars then they changed them so that the stickers were already scored when you bought them. In the last couple years they now add your license plate number on the sticker.

Also Illinois lets you choose from a range of different plates.

Anyone else addicted to sinus decongestants?

[LongBeachCoupe]

Datt those little bullet vicks inhalers I hear are addicting...
People addicted to sinus decongestants are usually not sick and are smurfing pulls for some sort of meth operation... are you and Nala starting a business??

[sx moneypit]

When i was working at the Ford dealership there was another mechanic that loved those inhalers.He went through at least one a week.
