Re: My blazer used as brakes...

You know here in Texas everyone is *****ing because the state has implemented a new program where by in which the man can run your plates and see if you have insurance. If you don't they can pull you over, cite you and impound your car.

I like the idea, because it will help put a lid on crap like this.

Really sorry to see that about your truck man, I hope you get it fixed.

Yep I love that law. I just got pulled over and the fact that he only asked to see my license caught me off guard. Yeah they have all of that info on a neat little computer. It was a SAPD bike cop that pulled me over.

Sorry about the accident. I know I would be a little heated if someone down here took out one of the "kids" with no insurance... It looks like you can fix it, but it all depends on funds available and how much you truly love THAT truck.

yeap that how things are in my country if dont have insurence on your car they will take the plates even if it parked in your drive way or if it missed inspection 3 times i belive it is.
they dont impound the car just yet if its on the road and not on a private parking place you will get a notice to remove the car with in 48 hours or it will be impound you will get the bill for a private towing company and if it aint payed your car WILL be crused

Really sucks with your blazer

Just cut the section out of a cab? Replace the other parts?

What mirrors were you running? Better photos?

Yeah, when you have a chance, snap some photos and send them my way. I think I like the look better than my power mirrors.

Re: My blazer used as brakes...

"Illegal" and "Let him go" should not be in the same sentence, under any circumstances. What is wrong with the way we do things? There is absolutely no incentive to do anything "legally"....there is no down-side?

Re: My blazer used as brakes...

hmm, - so there really is ONE thing which is better in germany than the US....here you HAVE TO pay your insurance for any kind of vehicle - you have no choice...If you don`t pay, the cops seize your car, truck whatever...

Anyway - I hope you can fix it and that it`s not too expensive - nice truck
