Owning a beater was soo much easier though! And, as I started driving there I’m thankful, 'cause I had a beater. I remember it was a huge deal when we moved to Ohio because we would have to actually have the state inspect our families cars for the first time since purchase.
Yeah, I find this super weird. Where I live, any vehicle more than 3 years old needs to be inspected annually, and anything older than 10 years needs to be inspected every 6 months - it’s a super basic safety check; are your tires legal, do your brakes work, is your suspension system in spec etc. Pretty much just making sure that vehicle is safe to drive - you get a bit of leeway if the certificate has expired, but if it’s more than a few weeks past you risk getting fined or having your car impounded
I understand it when it is specifically for large cities (>500,000 people or so) but when done at a state level it makes no sense. I understand that it is functionality not enforced in smaller communities, but I personally think any law that has poor enforcement for good reason (such as more than half of the vehicles not complying) should be removed or redefined (perhaps only require it on commercial vehicles or make it a secondary crime).
In Oregon they check your carbon emissions every 2 years. That’s it. They don’t give a shit how fucked up your car is as long as the emissions are low.
I’ve gotten some from a brand called “Duco.” I don’t know anything about the brand except that they’ve been decent sunglasses (though they do scratch easily) and relatively inexpensive (though their price has gone up).
It’s fun what polarized sunglasses do though, tilting your head makes some things appear differently. Like tinting on car windows or asphalt on some parking lots.
