    All of DOT should just hang out in LA and write tickets to all those POS O/O trucks I see there.

    Going North up the 5 yesterday there were a lot of CHP pickups hanging on the on ramps. I started alerting my fellow drivers about them on the CB. Not one single response. Eff ‘em.

    I think part of that is location, I know texas does.t care if you were inspected 15 minutes ago, but here they give you 90 days on a sticker.
    They pulled me in in the Yukn for inspection once, but ask when the last inspection I had had was. I told him I had never been inspected in the Yukon, and it didn't matte. he was talking about anywhere. I said 3 days ago, and actually had the paperwork for it in the folder in my hand. He looked and said he couldn't do anything with me, so got my friend I was running with instead. lol

    90%?
    I live here and drive one too. Quite the contrary, 90% of White Volvo owners are affluent and got money to spend on those. More than half of those real white volvos nowadays are new black volvos or new blue cascadias . So colors changed lately.

    I was thinking 15. but I was normally on 19, like the whole rest of the country. lol

    That isn't fair either though, because in A;laska we run 14 on the parks. lol
