A very close call today to stall the heart

[Steve - WB3HUZ]

No inspection in your state?

I am at the point where I start looking through the windows of the car ahead of me to see if the third brakelight two cars up is suddenly lit. Can't count on the person immediately in front of me to be paying attention.

Good idea [do it myself], but only if the light is working.  A lot of people don't bother replacing the bulbs/LEDs when they fail.

I don't know about anywhere else but here if a bulb burns out it never gets fixed. We have tons of cars around here with busted lights.

One of the benefits of driving an ex-State Police Ford Crown Vic (especially one with antennas on it) is that everyone notices you and no one wants to get too close.  You "be the channel-master" and set the pace.  Everybody's on their best behavior.

Some of you may remember my jethro mobile. '72 1 ton camper special with wood flat bed. 4:11 gears and built 350 with Vet fuelie cam and Doug headers. Ugly primer black could take a vet off the line.
The last day I drove it a guy played chicken with me with a new F150. His side mirror was slammed into his door but I didn't hit my buddy's father's mail box. The guy was pissed and screaming at me. I told him call a cop or drive.
I knew if I walked up to my buddy's Dad's house and told him what happened he would have claimed to see the whole thing. This clown came down the crown of a country road and lost. I parked the truck and headed to the dealer to pick up my new ride.
No Huz no inspection just emissions.
