You should see some of the Hillbilly vehicles on        RL> the road around here.              That's funny! Joe said the same thing. To me it sounds great, but what happens       when someone's brake lights are out or something? Can the cops give them a       ticket for that?               RL> At one time, the Detroit area made you get an emissions test for your        RL> car. But that fell apart because they proved that the vast majority of        RL> people who drove in/out of the Detroit area didn't live there - and        RL> didn't need to get an emissions test.              You're right about this being an elitist thing. I have a regular mechanic who       I go to for everything mechanical (things that I can't do myself) and he's       great, but he doesn't handle Check Engine Light. He recommends going to the       dealership for that. But the problem is that the dealership doesn't know what       they're doing.              Dealerships are already shady enough as it is, and this just empowers them       even more.              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 2023/04/30 (Windows/64)        * Origin: JoesBBS.Com, Telnet:23 SSH:22 HTTP:80 (1:342/200)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/14 305 153/7715 154/110 218/700       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 206 300 307 317 400 426 428 470 700       SEEN-BY: 229/705 266/512 291/111 292/854 320/219 322/757 342/200 202       SEEN-BY: 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 902/26 5075/35       PATH: 342/200 229/426           |
