    Good!!! Tired of being blinded by that crap. It’s the adult equivalent to those fart can mufflers that every kid had when they tried to turn moms old civic into a Fast and Furious car. They do it to annoy and to look cool. Same with fog lights. They only work in heavy fog. Turn them off otherwise.

    I wish I had a teeny tiny missle launcher on my truck where I could lock in on those bright lights and push a button. That missle would have an attached brick that would smash the lights.

    It would also have a note attached saying “ I win douchebag”

    What b.s. The DOT blitz is June 4 -6, and focus this time is on Steering and Suspension.

    (P.S. - I have found that running over every single dead skunk with one side or the other's tires gets a driver a quick wave to get out of here, once the smell hits them. )

    Maybe rates will go up since so many of you are going to park. Much obliged.

    Ummmm.


    Hang out around Chicago and pull over every other Dirty piece of Krap White Volvo

    90% percent failure rate

    Now go to South Florida and pull over every piece of Krap dump truck.

    You can pass miles of troopers in the meridian plucking off trucks on both sides as they pass. As soon as they are finished with one the grab the next one going by. As for coups, expected to have to park creatively, space will be limited.

    The blitz implies they weren't doing their job correctly for the rest of the time. It is just another $$$ roundup that is all. Don't feed the beast, go fishing instead. The problem there is that some don't do it on the exact date, they might want to get an early start, so they don't miss any income.
