    Oh I thought it was you that posted up a picture of something similar but opposite (baby has started sleeping on her side, but hasn't mastered rolling from her belly to her back/side, at least in her crib! Suffice it to say she's rolling to her belly quite a bit throughout the night...)

    Too flashy, Dammit Dave. Throw on some black frame/black lenses and scale them down and you've got it nailed down, go patent it now!!:dancingbacon:

    Not at all. I think he's going to need a changing table diaper disposal feature too. A #swingout with mini trasheroo will be crucial. Biodegradable diapers will be out of the question.

    Pet Peeve of mine, folks getting by without state inspections:mad:...which allows for them to not have functioning brake lights, like not a 1 of 3, but 0/3! Yeah that dogface (isn't that an up-an-coming insult...right?!) got passed with a quickness...don't need any accidents here with you no brake having, yet randomly braking with 25+ car lengths in front of you.

    Oh sorry got on a tangent, which reminds me @EatSleepTacos did you ever bend the knee and submit for inspection:anonymous:E1AABD01-D58B-45CC-A313-F9EABE68FE65.jpg

    Okay I kid I kid, I can't say that I enjoy yet another $ robbing measure here in the Commonwealth of VA, but it reasons that many more things are caught and fixed before failing on the roadways.

    Alright, stepping off soapbox.

    I think state inspections are great, keeps people from riding around in shitboxes. I like to think I'm in tune with betty white though and will keep her from going up in flames. And that's my Assateague beach OHV pass lol I keep it there because it kinda looks like a state inspection sticker.

    Yeah except now they're RED inspection stickers for '20...I know you are on another wavelength when it comes to ol'Black/Betty White...and damn internet text doesn't ooze the sarcasm nearly enough!!!!

    VA technically wouldn't allow it...upload_2020-7-7_9-59-2.jpg

    EDIT: Now that said/shown, I see folks with black gaffers tape on LED bars and ditch lights that have been passed even last month.

    There might be more to it than that (or that's new). They're supposed to turn off when the high beams are on (or they used to have to). If they're covered they don't even bother to look at them. The inspector even made a comment about it after one of mine recently. Of course, except for the last part, I could be wrong on all counts. I just get tired of arguing with them. And I'm already planning on an argument about my exhaust.

    Exhaust re: emissions stuff or did you chop at the rear axle?

    Also, if your ditch lights are wired to a separate switch then they won't be on when you flick on your headlights, nor go between hi and low beams...I know covers are the safest bet, but if you remove the switch they can't even turn it on...aux lights without a means to turn on aren't inspected, which is (depending on how you've got shit wired/switched) a $0 temporary mod.

    Also covers take rock hits WAY better than the pod lenses!!!!! I know ditch lights are coming for me, and going with a tried and true wide cornering BD setup means black covers are likely readily available...

    Now that I've :deadhorse:...how bout this weather!

    It's chopped. It's legal and it will pass inspection. It's just past the rear axle. But my luck, I'll get some power-hungry inspector that is looking to fail somebody in any way possible. At the very least it'll all be fun. I like fun.

    I'm digging the weather. Weather is fun. We should get some more weather.
