ya, got different plates. The Lady laughed when the computer brought up what my plats were to be. Emissions was also done today. I hate getting any car tested. I feel that they run the engines to hard and they certainly don't care. They ran my truck on a dyno and floored it with OD disabled until it red lined and then they held it there for 10 or so seconds. That kinda pissed me off, I know they are just doing what there told but dam.

They called and offered me everything they offer for an extra 17 bucks a month including NFL ticket. I said Hell yeah. I have been a customer since '01 though. My #1 daughter pays the bill for me, but I would not ask her to pay the outrageous price they charge for the entire season of NFL

Not even close to the same look. I will dig up a photo of a 56 Vette somewhere tonight and you will see what I mean. I was not trying to make you look bad in anyway. Hell today I can't even tell a Jap car from an American car and I would call that showing my age too.

I am no expert by any means, but if it really only has 6000 genuine miles on it and is as perfect as it should be I would think it would be worth at least 100k, probably more.

I almost got a ticket yesterday for rolling smoke and barking the tires from a stop sign on the way home from work. I didn't notice the Constable two car links back.

I pulled into my subdivision and into the mail stop, he pulled up alongside, waved his finger at me and then drove off.

Just got mine last week.

$89. Gotta love Texas.

I thought for sure I was gonna get one too. That would have sucked seeing as how I got one while riding the jet ski over the summer.

No, you didn't make me look bad, but was curious as to why you though I was young. To me, it looks like a vett, but yes I am young and yes, I haven't seen one in person.

How long is 89 bucks good for Scott? I did the SC thing with the Vdub and the total cost was 51 bucks. That included a new title and taxes and 1 year registration. The downside of SC is that you have to pay some dumb property tax every year which is separate from the registration fee. But on the other hand there is no inspection so I guess it balances out.

That's for one year. Also have to pay a $12 state inspection fee once a year. For gassers the fee is $45.
