They also do roadblocks for drunks at times.

Sometimes they do drug roadblocks on interstate and stop every car.This is quite a sight.Takes an army of law enforcement and numerous drug dogs.

This has all be contested in courts but upheld.

Looks like I'll not be driving through S.D. anytime soon :rofl2:

Now you can’t get your registration without the inspection, so no real need.

Inspection done, passed, charge is $18.50 in Cedar Park, Texas. Now have to go and pay $225.00 at County office for tags including $150 for personal plate.

I love all my Polk audio stuff. Used to run them in my truck stereo. My floor and center channel are all Polk and I bought their sound bar for the living room when we got the new house.

Been a busy f**king day. :icon14: Before I left work. Got 15 bags of garden dirt for the raised bed I'm doing. Come home and spread that. Have to get more. After that. Installed the Thuren drag link and Smartbar sway bar on my Power Wagon. No more clunk in the steering, and my axle lockers and sway bar disconnect works again. :tup:

I called the place that I bought it from on the 6th. They told me that UPS found it and it was arriving yesterday. :tup: He said that UPS didn't want to pay the insurance on it. Because they insurance it for $3,000. So they had to find it. List price on it is $2,700. I got it for $1,000. There was 5 left in the country. Now there is 4. What goes bad on them is the circuit board. You have to buy the whole thing. They just don't sell the circuit board by it's self. :mad:

Debating whether to put car in car show tomorrow.
Biggest car show of the year in our state.Usual 800+ cars.

I enjoy seeing all cars from exotics to Gramma's original 53 chevy 4 door.

I would be in tuner section next to Corvettes.I have no issues with Vettes but the owners of said cars are arrogant and have no understanding of any car but Vettes.

I raced two newer Vettes last year when airport had race day.This was from a rolling start.The Z took them down.My Z is not stock.

Maybe I will go and uphold the honor of our Z.

My turf toe flared up again. Hurts like a mother if I put too much pressure on the ball of my big toe when walking. :mad: Didn't sleep well because of it too. :shakes head:

The hardlines for the transmission on the bottom of the new radiator are slight lower than the OEM ones. Had to bend some metal support out of the way. Pretty sure it's just support for the plastic undershroud - I figured if I was able to bend it a little use a set of large channel locks, it wasn't anything of structural importance lol.

Upper and lower hoses I ordered are not even close to OEM. I've got the lower one in and I think it will work if I just make sure to secure it so it doesn't rub up against the fan shroud. Upper one blocks the oil dipstick :facepalm: so I'm headed out to grab an OEM hose from the dealer for $35 :ugh2:
