Going to the Chicago Auto Show tomorrow. Can't wait to see new Raptor, GT350R, and GT in person. Especially in that new silver.

I'll be sure to get some pics for you guys. Assuming I don't get trampled to death in the process.

 

did someone say sweater puppies????

 

well let's hope for best and wait for your pics

 

Close to home!


I'm going to shut down and get out of here a little earlier than usual.

 

even though this happened in another town our schools and several other communities were possibly going to go into lockdown until the shooter was found

 

I'm confused on this new Registration/inspection for Texas starting march 1st.. The way i read it if my registration is due in Feb and the inspection is March then i don't have to get the vehicle inspected until Feb 2016 so the registration and inspection are synced together.

Am i wrong on this? Cause the inspection places are saying i need to still get it inspected, even though there will be no sticker.. Doesn't make sense.

From the DMV Website


"Will I have to pay for more than one inspection in a year?
No, you will not have to pay for more than one inspection in a year. During the sync up year from March 1, 2015-February 29, 2016, some vehicle owners will go beyond their 12-month inspection cycle to align the expiration dates for inspection and registration.
For example:

Registration sticker expires 3/15
Inspection sticker expires 9/15

The owner will be able to renew registration in March 2015 and not have to get the vehicle inspected again until 2016 because the inspection sticker is valid at the time of renewal (inspection sticker expires 9/15).
The following year, before the end of March 2016, both inspection and registration will be due."

 

I just had the wife's Escape inspected on Monday of this week (both the registration and the inspection were due in February) and she still got a sticker......???

 

This starts March 1st so it didnt apply to the Escape.

Just like my truck.. Inspection is Jan (which i got a sticker for) and Registration is April.. So technically come 2016 i dont have to get it inspected until April since thats when the registration is due..

Now for the Impala Registration is Due Feb and Inspection is due March, according to DMV website if the Inspection is valid when its time to renew (year 2015) you dont have to get a inspection sticker until the following year (2016) Then thats when you can sync both stickers into 1.

But the inspections places i called today said i still have to get a 2015 inspection done on the car even though they wont put a sticker on it after march 1st.

Heres the website explaining it.. Unless im just a idiot and reading it wrong

I don't understand any if this! Never had to have a vehicle inspected. Is it just for emissions purposes or for safety and functionality?

 

Depends what county you live in, my county is just safety inspection, but Houston Dallas Austin etc do emissions and safety.

 

Its actually by county, not by city tho.

 

Gotcha.

Sometimes I forget how big that state is.

 

I actually like it because it forces the idiots among us to at least halfway maintain their vehicles. They check your lights, turn signals, wipers, tire tread, verify insurance, etc. I figure this gets at least some of the poorly maintained vehicles off the road since they can't get their license plate renewed if it doesn't pass the inspection......
