Seat belt... i never wear.

just 2 days ago i was running open exhaust before i put my cherry bomb on.

speedo isnt calibrated.

2 cracks in my windshield

gun in the truck

Flag pole that flies a flag much too far back (probably illegal) but no body is gonna say anything about it.

Im sure my exhaust is too loud for residential areas but dont really care.

Florida is fairly easy to please. just dont get pulled over by FDOT they will inspect every inch of your vehicle till they find something to give you a ticket for.

I wonder if smoke stacks are illegal in NY? I wonder if they distract from pretty winter time landscape when my truck goes rolling by? I'm sitting here scratching my head... hmmmm...

Yeah, we had a police roadblock one night and one of the FDOT guys there tried getting me for something. had me switch my directionals, brakes, lights on/off, etc. needless to say with HIDs and LEDs all around he told me they surpassed what hes used to (blown bulbs, broken brake relays, etc )

Currently i got tires that stick out past fender flares and that's about it. I also have a radar detector, but not really illegal just frowned upon. If you ever get a ticket from a cop for it should be easy to fight as most state laws clearly say they are legal to have in working possession.

Yeah, you may be right but my buddy has an older model 150 with the same tires and stick out about the same. Got a warning and was told he better get some sort of fender flares on the truck. I also thought it was okay for it to stick out just a little bit, but apparently the state rides don't like it.
