For every one out there if you live in a state that does inspections for a mear $19.95 a year you can register your truck with Uncle Spike's State Inspection Not Going To Do It company.
Thats right folks, for $19.95 you too can avoid fixing your car and turning off that nice amber Check Engine light.
How else are you going to text at night while driving?
You cant even see the keyboard on your phone without that amber light, its like a nite light for your car!

Yeah I could go on, but I really need to shower.

I do love living in a state that does not care though.

Dont forget the GBP's to USD's conversion, right now that will almost double the price, then add shipping in to that too.

Grenade? Nothing explodes like a rotary engine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyoDpMVwxFw When you have something with no pistons that just spins around at 12,000 RPMs, when it goes, IT GOES!!!

(I have a modified RX-7 in addition to my Landy which is currently serving as a shelf in the garage until I get the funds to finish it)
