Federal Funds are the only consideration. Highway safety means nothing.
Ohio has no emissions, and the state highway patrol sets up random safety checks. Which the hand out citations for windshield cracks, loud exhausts, brakes, tires, etc

Two counties in IN have emissions. Basically because all the dirty Chicago folks live there. The rest of the state has clean air.

On the way home from Easter dinner with the family, driving in the middle lane of a 3 lane road doing 75 in a 65. A group of ricers pass me 10 deep at Probobly 90-100, and then proceed to start racing each other in front of a huge group of cars and semis and weaving in and out of traffic. Dumbasses. 3 of them meet the state highway patrol a few miles ahead. I hate the ricer crowd

Hahaha. That's funny ----!

On a sad note, I just had to drop $600 in tools just to do a clutch job on the REX. It aint no Miata. That's for sure.

Flying with your sinus plugged up sucks. Having said issue and having a connecting flight double sucks.
