PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

Blend door.

 

Needlessly replaced that last August...

 

Or depending if you've smoked cigarettes/cigars...mouthwash..etc

Not ideal but that's what the law is, and when you sign your license you're basically signing a contract saying you'll follow the rules.

 

So, I made an Uber Eats pickup at Mickey D's...

I did not know that McNazi's, I mean McDonald's was a top secret military installation!

 

@Taco critter

I think I might be hitting 100K before Carlisle!

Also, what stuff do I need to buy for the foglight install? I already have the foglights...

 

The wires, and an OEM style switch

 

The law is the law. I honestly don't mind the zero tolerance laws that exist, cause minors don't have any business drinking alcohol in the first place. Following the rules isn't hard, I mean... I don't even touch my keys when I drink a beer with my dad.

 

At another McDonald's (this one in Philly), some woman who was very incoherent and appeared to be high and/or had mental problems asked me for a ride as I was leaving with the order. I just said "I gotta go" and head out the door...

Like I am really going to let some drugged-up stranger in my truck!

 

Foglights are factory models, obtained from another TW member...

Am I going to have to go to the stealership to get the other parts?!?!

 

Does anybody register their vehicle in a state other than the one where they reside to avoid annual inspections, high registration fees, high taxes, etc?

For example, I know a lot of Connecticut residents use a loophole to register their vehicles in Maine, for the sole purpose of avoiding Connecticut's outrageous property tax on vehicles. Connecticut is not very happy about this.

When I bring my truck in for inspection every year and have to pay $60 for Pennsylvania's ludicrous emissions test, it makes me want to register my truck in Florida.

 

Everyone has to do emissions? Part of owning a vehicle. $60 isnt crazy. Plus, wouldn't you just have to do it in Florida instead?

 

Florida has not had emissions testing since 2006, and as far as I know has never had safety inspections. Registration fees are much lower as well. Also, PennDOT makes me pay all this money to register and inspect my truck, but our roads are shit! Where's all the damn money going?!?!

 

doesn't that under seat kicker subwoofer have a built in amp?

 

Yup, the amp is for running the door speakers if I read it correctly..

 

It has been almost 9 years since I had an encounter with a mall cop over photography and I generally avoid taking pictures at malls because the security people are such douchebags, but I still haven't the been able to find a good reason why photography is not allowed on mall property.

There is a YouTube video of someone who filmed their kid on a mini merry-go-round at a mall, and a security guard confronts them and says they can't film in the mall.

Does anybody have any idea why malls prohibit photography? It's not like they're military bases.

 

social conditioning...

 

When they see you taking pictures

 

Huh?

 

cameras make people uncomfortable. For absolutely no real reason. I can take pictures with my phone at the mall, but the bigger the camera, the bigger the problem. What are you trying to capture?

 

In the October 2010 incident at the Oxford Valley Mall, it was a big HVAC unit on the roof (I was in the parking lot, not on the roof or any other restricted area).

In the incident at the outlet mall in East Stroudsburg (also October 2010), it was pickup trucks in the parking lot, AND HVAC units up on the roof.

Then there was this time in August 2014 when we were visiting family in Myrtle Beach, and we went to a place called Broadway on the Beach, which is like a promenade shop type of place. There was this beautiful 1993 or 1994 Chevy S10 Blazer 2-door in the parking lot, in the top LT trim (rare one a 2-door) and with 2WD (rare anywhere North of Maryland on my side of the country).

I started snapping photos of the Blazer, and then I saw a security SUV approaching. They may or may not have been coming for me, but I was in the mood to deal with mall nazis so I just bolted. Nothing ever came of it...
