    He would break into boxes full of paper work, shit all over it and chew the shit out of the corners of the papers.
    None of it was missing. He didn't eat it, he didn't take it with him, he wasn't sleeping in the boxes,......
    just being an asshole. The only time I've wanted to knife fight an animal in my life.

    Tyler, that pic of the Taco is damn near perfection. Calendar material. The only thing wrong is that your state requires a front plate. Well done. :bowdown:

    Thank you lol. On Tacomaworld a lot of guys have been framing their trucks with trees or vegetation and working with stuff in the foreground and background and it inspired me as I was starting a walk in the woods.

    FWIW, I think the front plate law (for qualifying states) is one of the dumbest laws out there, and just more money for the government for that sole reason

    How’s it more money? The tax is the same price for one or two?

    Not sure, but it's definitely another reason to write a ticket and make money that way

    Because they generate ticket revenue from violations. It's an artificial way to generate violations.

    I haven’t run one for the last 4 years and have never been pulled over for that. I probably just jinxed it though.

    I think it’s just a plate fee iirc.

    The only ones I have ever known (heard) of to issue tickets for a front plate is the City of Denver parking enforcement.
    It’s a very easy traffic stop, but 99% chance you aren’t getting a ticket if all goes well and ur not a shit head. Some will also negotiate - so let’s say you’re stopped for speeding. Cop doesn’t issue u a ticket for speed (moving violation) but does the front plate. (Big win for you).

    Come on, tell the truth..

    You afraid what "Real handcuffs" would feel like on your wrist..o_O:notsure::notsure:

    I have always run a front plate; either by law or just to fill the space with

    something I like..:monocle:

    Now you want to PI$$ me off, try running a "Large Car" and see what they want

    to "Stick on it".....

    Many laws are put or kept in place specifically to be revenue generators. Case in point, Highway 43 in in Alberta. Divided highway, 2 lanes each way, good condition (as far as northern Canuckistani highways go), damned near a straight line. Speed limit? 110km/h. There's no reason other than revenue generation that the speed limit couldn't be 120km/h or even 130km/h. Highway 2 from Edmonton to Calgary is the same.

    Everyone drives 120+ on hwy 43 anyways. They're not unsafe speeds and modern vehicles are more than capable of maintaining safe handling at those speeds. It's all revenue generation for the province.

    There was a study, (I'm not digging for it now), that came out a few years back and basically came to the conclusion that the majority of people will drive at the speed most comfortable and safe for the road. On highway 43, that means 120 - 130km/h. Sure, some people drive slower, and some people drive faster. The vast majority though will be within that range. Set the speed limits to the commonly denominated speed and leave it at that. According the study, most people who do 130 in a 110 zone won't start doing 150 in a 130 zone. 130 is the intuitive speed, and thus they stick to it.

    Having an artificially low speed limit just increases the risks of wrecks as people doing 20 - 30km/h above the limit are now significantly faster than those obeying the speed limit. If the speed limit increases, the people obeying the limit will generally come up to the faster speed, reducing the risks of slow drivers meeting fast drives. Suddenly you have 95% of people doing 130 instead of 60% doing 110 and 40% doing 120 - 130.
