Hey Dale, I didn't take your comments as a knock in any
way. I know each state has it's own laws regarding vehicle equipment, but
I figure if I'm not doing anything wrong, chances are I won't be
bothered.
I've had plenty of experience getting tickets over the
years and I noticed while you're looking for your registration and
insurance, the policeman is looking for other violations. It's just
business.
As for Nashville, I was starting to make plans, but then
realized a friend from AZ was going to be here to visit on the
same days as Chevel-a-bration. I thought it would be best if I was
here when he arrived!

I certainly didn't mean to knock anyone's ride and I hope
nobody took it that way, especially Herb...I just love that yellow Elky!
If Virginia doesn't require a military member to have their car inspected to
pass Virginia laws, I can understand that. Neither does Oklahoma if
you're a military member and have your car registered/insured in another
state. But if a Virginia Highway Patrol or a local police officer
decides your car doesn't meet Virginia laws, I think they've gotcha. At
least in Oklahoma, the advantage of out of state registration is so you don't
have to register and title the car in Oklahoma and I think most military
towns/states are that way simply because people in the military tend to move
every few years anyway.
Now, if I could just convince Herb to bring that piece of
work to Nashville next week. :*)
good point Dale. I have
heard that Virginia is strict with their respective laws, you are not even
allowed to have a radar detector in that state. i think alot of people
think some states may be a little lax in those ways until ya find out
the hard way.
I will tell ya New Jersey is one of the tougher
ones, but under historic registration, almost anything is legal, except no
driving without a hood, they will hang ya for that, no open headers, stuff
like that. Only thing about being under historic registration is you
cannot use it commercially or as a dailey driver, the big bonus is historic
vehicle do not have to pass the infamous New Jersey State Inspection.
It's "exhibition purposes only", but hey everytime ya take it out you are
exhibiting it to everyone on the road right ;-). I wouldn't drive it
everyday in this state anyway, too many wreckless idiots on the
road.
