I'm a little OD'ed on Life.... and extremely disgusted with the working pace of people employed by the state.(I can't believe the fucking typos I made)That is almost exactly what I did yesterday, but I had to get my car inspected first.It took me over an hour and I had a six year old autie, having a rough day, in-tow. She was making several people laugh by intelligently questioning the complexity of the process. She severely ripped apart the whole stand-in-line-for-your-chance-to-tell-them-you-will-sit-in-a-chair-and-wait routine, in a very cute, but impatient way. Entertaining her questions was really the only thing that saved me. I did it while my daughter was in school, thank goodness. We take a number at the car registration place, then we can sit in a chair or whatever, but we have to listen closely for our number or they will skip over us.What is that renewed car registration thing? We pay tax every year for our cars. The license tag, that indentifies every legal car, expires every year and must be "registered" again. It cost me one hundred fifty seven dollars for my two cars. It decreases every year as the car ages. New cars are very expensive to register in Indiana.Renewing the registration is relatively simple compared to buying a car and get it registered to you for the first time. It's all very legal.We have car tax as well (of course), but we don't have to go to some office to get a renewed tag; we get it by mail, after car inspection. The tag itself costs nothing. And buying a new car is also a very simple process in Sweden. And it even seems that our car inspection is simpler than yours; nowadays they send out a time for inspection automatically, and if you aren't satisfied with it, you can simply change it on phone or even easier on the internet. Hm, I've discovered one thing that actually is simpler in Sweden than in the US. You mean other than sex with fifteen year olds? Normally I mail them in also, but this time was odd.Indiana does not have a required vehicle inspection prior to registration. However, if you are stopped for a traffic vioaltion, the officer will do a purfunctory inspection of your vehicle and likely add other violations to the charges he stopped you for.

I saw them a few years ago at a pissy smelling dive in Louisville. I was saddened to see one of my favorites reduced to that state, but their popularity had diminished a great deal, by that time. They were spectacular, in performance, but the venue was puke-worthy. They actually did "Imaginos" as a cohesive opera, complete with a change of costuming and stage set-up, the way it was written, instead of the way Columbia hacked it up and re-arranged it into a regular album. It was really good. To me the biggest problem with "Imaginos" is the ridiculous, tinny, low-res, back-alley studio sound the record company produced for it. I have always been more impressed with their live sound, but capturing that on disk, for playback through a boombox is impossible.
Don't suppose you ever made itto The Chance, in Poughkeepsie?
what is this car inspection.in california we have to get a smog inspection every other year.
Quote from: McJagger on May 03, 2007, 07:21:48 AMwhat is this car inspection.in california we have to get a smog inspection every other year.They check out the car for rust on crucial parts, how well the breaks work, if all lights work correctly and if the exhaust fumes contain too much carbonmonoxide, carbohydrogens, etc.
How about economy? Do it, anyway, if it gets you better mileage. It probably will.
Quote from: Calamity Jane on May 03, 2007, 11:32:16 AMHow about economy? Do it, anyway, if it gets you better mileage. It probably will.It'll get me better speed anyway. It now makes 200 kmph, but with 39 extra horsepowers it would maybe make 230-240 kmph.
