What bugs me is that my mom just bought a new car. Picked it up on the 30th of December. And they still put the sticker in the middle. With that coming they should have gone ahead and put it on the edge.

The cops don't have time to read anything when it's on the front of a vehicle they keep making this argument on ohio as to why we have to run a front licence plate.

Because vehicle sensors. All of the adaptive cruise, emergency braking shiat. Apparently some manufacturers are putting their sensors there.

Why do you have to have a sticker on your windshield?

VA safety inspection. Basically a shake down between the auto garages and the state. If you comply, you have to pay a fee to the garage and then get any petty thing they identify fixed. If you don't comply you'll eventually get a ticket and pay a fine for not having a current sticker.

VA loves it's tickets and fines. Its a major source of revenue, especially for the rural counties. I got nailed about a year ago for making a left turn during times when you aren't supposed to. $100+ and points on my license.

Ugh. Dealing with that now. GF took her car to the inspection. Buncha bullshiat to "fix" before they pass it.

F*cking scammers. And I dont live close to fix it myself.

Im dead serious. I said "so because you cant pour in power steering fluid, im 'posed to pay for a flush. Nah brah."

To piss them off i told her to top the fluids and make them do the inspection tomorrow.

View attachment 6051 Also this shiat happened. As if having any sticker on the windshield was bad enough. Now it’s RIGHT THERE
We used to have TWO in that corner. Top is inspection, bottom is registration.

That's exactly how to handle it.

In this area they like to call out old windshield wiper blades. It's a scam any way you cut it. The way I deal with it is to go to an honest garage and make sure I do some other minor maintenance item while I'm at it. Like an oil change.

It's ufcking bullshiat that low fluid level are a reason for failing inspection. VA isn't that bad. They don't care about check engine lights. But if you've got a wiper blade put of place, oh buddy!

So. Went to Discount Tire today to get the tires rotated and balanced. 45 minutes later I go to leave, and guess what!

My clutch is ufcked. Absolutely ufcked. When it starts to engage the whole driveline shakes like it's going to fall apart.

Downside. Waiting at Discount Tire for a tow truck to take it to the dealership.

Upside. 130k on the clock and I get a new clutch for free.
