No offense, onzedge... ;)



On a side note, residents of that fine state are now restricted to 55 gallons of water per person per day, or face a $1000 fine.... :eekdance:


Until 2025, when they can only use 50 gallons per day.... Hell, you can't do laundry and take a shower on the same day...:confused:

Good luck today.

The process is straight forward, however, the 'fees' are ever changing. I ran a Corvette repair business out there during the early 90s. My partner and I were going to open a smog inspection station with the idea to 'certify' exhaust systems as being CARB compliant. Upon further research, the 'fees' got to be difficult. We had to put down $10k to start, then there was a 'fee' of $1000 per month, then after we submitted paperwork, it was rejected 4 times before we found out that we hadn't paid the county clerk their 'fee' to process the paperwork...:mad::mad:
That 'fee' wasn't listed anywhere, we had to go talk to the clerk to find out that $$$ amount. Needless to say, we dropped the idea of a smog station pretty quick. :owned:

Glad I live in state with no emission testing.100 octane in the tank now with a very free flowing exhaust.

If I lived a mile east of Bone Manor, I'd have to get emissions.

In parts of colorado, they will fine your *** if you put up a rain collector.

Yeah, you don't own the rain that lands on your land. They do. :icon14: It's all about control. They want to control your life. It's only getting worse.

No baby today. It will be the 19th. I have a few more days! :eekdance:

Nissan is going to cover the part. $245 precisely which is outrageous to begin with. She will just have to cover labor which was quoted at $140.

Just got done working on the Power Wagon. About 3 weeks ago. I had a brake line in the rear pop. It rusted through. So I replaced the lines then. BUT the the bolts that hold the brake lines in place broke on both sides. :mad: I tried to drill them out before my trip. But the drills bits I had wouldn't put a dent in the broken bolts. So this morning. I when to Fastenal to get some cobalt drill bits. These didn't do anything either. :eek: Ended up using a carbide burr bit on a pencil die grinder. :tup: After burring out the bolts. Ran a drill bit down through the hole. Then retapped the holes. The left side went pretty smooth. The right side. Ahhhh......broke 2 drill bits in the hole. :eek: :mad: Used the burr bit to remove the pieces. After that. Retapped and installed the bolt. :tup: Tomorrow, I have to tackle the rear axle locker. It has a flashing light on the dash. If I have to replace the locker assy. That's about $4,000. :eek: :mad:
