It was nice to circulate some fluids, I know it was only a RK but fun just the same.

Rode up to the service station for an inspection. Around the neighborhood for a few miles and then back home

By the way, the ”inspection” checks lights, horn, tires and insurance. Money grab but at 7 bucks, is cheaper than the 25 dollar cage version. You have to have a current inspection to register your vehicle and it is all entered into a database.

I can see inspections to be a good thimg, but a money racket none the less.

They have a smog check they run on cars in high population counties too. There is also a certain element of the population that run paper tags on their vehicles with muddied up ownership pedigree to stay out of the insurance database. I was rear ended by one of them several months ago in my truck and of course, no insurance.
