BiL got a jeep cherokee for free that he is making into a rock crawler.
It was hit in the back and the hitch took most of the damage. Being
unibody, the insurance folks total the car. BiL gets the car, and
proceeds to make it better. Goes to register, and no mention is made
of needing or wh
Have the car tested at the Renton test center off
I-405. they know how to test diesels. Sit in the car
yourself and make sure you carefully set the throttle
during the idle test. Some guys put a block under the
throttle pedal. Do not use the Bellevue emission
testing center, they hate diesels.

Patrol sort of stopped doing inspections unless there is a safety need
(salvage titles) or they hate your state. Mostly all they want is for
you to register the car and have title. At least that was the routine
when the POS SDL was headed here in 2003.

I don't think it's as easy to really be fair about the amount of tint that is

The tint law has been in effect in NC for years. It is largely ignored

that were darn near black. I drove it that way for a year, with a
state inspection sticker on the window, and was not stopped. But I

Maybe I should clarify my gripe... tintint law itself isn't a problem.
The way that it is being enforced I disagree with. Some states have cards
with text of varying level of contrast on them. Based on which line is

Did anyone read the whole article? The reason for the new law was
