    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    True haha, it's lawless where the median income drops cause no one could keep up. We kinda do the same thing here, once a vehicle is too far gone in WA they end up in the deep south, Mexico, or Guatemala.

    i mean even if they did the Guatemalans would take them, they'll use panels, engines, whatever and get rid of the rest. When I was in AZ I would see a single toyota pickup with 3-4 others and parts in tow behind it bound for Guatemala.

    Can agree there but the BMXer in me wouldn't mind getting to CA for a trip

    True, tunes have gotten flagged but there are workarounds being released now by the tuners. Mousetrap and mice.

    Technically in MA it is illegal to modify the existing lighting to a vehicle or to add on to the lighting, so yes if someone really wanted to bust balls. I had been given a set similar to yours a long time ago but never ended up installing them, that was one (minor) reason.

    Long ago when the CHMSL came to be, my friend's brother had a 1983 Olds Delta 88. In 1988 or 1989 he bought the light and installed it himself, did it correctly too. He failed MA inspection for having it.

    I'm not sure what he did afterwards, if he just took it out or fought the decision..but he said to me "so, the government thinks it's such a good idea they mandated it starting in 1986 for new builds, but I'm breaking the law by having it in an older than 1986 vehicle because it's considered not original."

    I don't know what the deal is with Asian places in Bethlehem; I went to this place today and was able to go inside, but they still have the place sealed up like we're still in the middle of a pandemic...

    Oh plenty of things:

    Go prepared sticker which goes against the saran wrap windows/Targa top.

    Dirty south/general lee sticker in PA.

    The PVC snorkel is probably the last thing I'm laughing about.

    Definitely a High Point owner.

    The electrical strut spacers is an added touch.

    Even I'm not that poor! Of all the 9mm handguns I've fired, my friend's Smith & Wesson was probably my favorite based on how it handled. What do you think of Ruger? That's the brand of AR-15 that I fired...

    Ruger is the pickup truck of guns at a really good price point. I don't like their triggers so that is one of the reasons I don't own one. I have been looking at some retirement pistols lately. Narrowing down some options.

    I see that quite a bit here.
    I see vehicles being towed west out of Tennessee with letters tapped in the rear window “In tow” with the magnetic tow lights and the flashers on. Most have Texas plates, and are being towed by Hispanics. I always wonder if they make it back to Texas with out an issue. I highly doubt it. As the tow vehicle itself is “beat” and falling apart.

    I will agree with that.
    If you want a tank that you can pass down for generations, get a Ruger. (Not the kel-tec clone stuff) But the triggers are rough and heavy.
    I never was a 1911 guy, but they do have nice triggers. I was/am a CZ guy. If I had money to blow, I’d buy a Shadow II with all the extras from Cajun Gun Works.

    Plastic fantastics, The XD/M is decent. But they are all about the same in the striker fired guns.

    HK USP is nice too, but over priced.

    Revolver wise, Smith and Wesson is the best “stock” trigger.
    I personally own Rugers, because well……they are tanks.
