    Fixed it for ya.

    Not in Georgia, or any other non-inspection State. I do sometimes wish we had mandatory safety inspections. The stuff I see on the road here sometimes is scary. Broken suspension, bald tires, no exhaust, missing bumpers, missing lights, plastic bags over broken windows at highway speeds, bungie straps holding down trunks or hoods... you get the idea.

    Every non-inspection state I’ve lived in still maintains laws regarding roadworthiness of vehicles. Tickets (and even impound) are still executed for inoperable tail lights, broken windshield, too dark window tint, and yes, insufficient tire tread depth. Inspections are better obviously, as it (potentially) keeps these dangers off the road.

    They may have the ability to write those tickets, but in practice, in a huge metro area like Atlanta, it doesn't happen.
    See profile for rigs. Nothing else here.

    Around here, as long as you're not shooting at other cars, it's all good.

    This reminds me of something I saw earlier.

    Nice!!! I crossed a log about that same size across a river not quite that rapid in the mountains up in WA ST. Was on a camping trip and had my husky with me. Leashed, he charged across the log with me in tow. It was pretty cool :)

    I'm glad you did at your house, but if you just had a button to push like a normal person, it would be a lot easier than flipping the switch up and down to make it go "ding-a-ling."

    Ivan's probably got one of those pull chains going up to a bell tower. The pull chain doesn't ring the bell, but instead looses a boot on a swing that kicks a hunchback, and he rings the bell.

    Jesse's house is always dark, and there's always an eerie mist floating across the grounds, with a wolf that howls and people screams in the distance. This is in the daytime. Nicely kept grounds, though.

    Meanwhile poor Chester is turning circles trying to get to both doors....Cheap entertainment.

    If you've noticed, I always hit the back doorbell first to throw him off!

    How's he doing?!

    No, because the screws are on the same side. Ease of maintenance is critical.
    Expect that there will be bumps in the road. Choose to not let them rattle you.

    Na, you're both wrong. Those are low friction tires for Hybrids. They increase fuel economy by 20%.
