Re: VA has UPDATED State Car Laws
honestly what is the purpose behind tinting your tail lights anyways... doesn't it defeat the purpose of having them. Now i mean a light and i mean light tint i can understand but the people that straight up black them out and then bitch and moan when they catch a rear-end from hell... whats the point. Personally i dont think it looks that great anyways. Just my opinion.
Mine are lightly tinted on my black car. They are just as bright at night and the day as they were before anything was done.
You want to complain about tail light brightness, how about we all take a gander at GTI's tails. Those fuckers are dim as shit and have almost no light to even show any form of a car.

Re: VA has UPDATED State Car Laws
Im not complaining at all like I said before to each his own its just my opinion. But i have known ppl that had the straight up blacked out tails that got rear ended and wondered why. (during the day time.)

On the gun laws - other than the restaurant ccw ban I don't see any problems with them. Well, other than the church ban.

LOL, whoops, didn't mean to edit out that much...wasn't paying attention (I had just gotten in from working on my car (yes, in the dark, yes with no heat source) for 4 hours.

It is a pain in the ass, but a step in the right direction. You can thank all the VCDL people for doing this.

Re: VA has UPDATED State Car Laws
The restaurant CCW ban is actually being somewhat fixed right now. The law which has passed the Senate so far allows you to CCW ONLY if you notify the ABC manager on duty.

Re: VA has UPDATED State Car Laws
You were telling a 10 year licensed state inspector who has a track record of being very knowledgeable on the issue and in automotive repairs that he was not too bright what is and isn't required for the VA SI. Yet you have no fucking idea of what you were talking about, nor are you an inspector, let alone even know the difference.
Thanks for proving the above.
I have never seen nor heard of there being a difference between the Motor code and the SI code. Hell, I can't even find a difference while searching on the web.

Re: VA has UPDATED State Car Laws
The more we try to figure out the rules, the less makes sense. ALOT of b/s 
Can someone explain to me how a state like VA, a state that has the good sense to have reasonably gun rights, is such a nazi state when it comes to cars? Guns and hot rodding go hand in hand. Quite frankly I view the inspection as an invasion of my privacy. If the car is unsafe, a cop will ticket me. If the car is safe, leave me be. This is why my dad in MD still owns the car I drive even though I've spent more on it than it's worth. Going 80 in a 60 is a Class 1 Misdemeanor? Who came up with that?

Re: VA has UPDATED State Car Laws
Is there really a problem with the HID's. I have after market ones on my car they are 12000k in a projector housing (stock on 2004 solara)... i will be the first to admit they are bright but they look exactly like the stock headlights on my moms acura TL... im not arguing with anyone just curious. They have saved me many times especially in the fog they are great. But to each his own.
