It blew my mind when I moved here. They literally don't inspect your car. Ever.

It's funny in a lol-republicans way, but I actually oppose it.

I don't want to die because some idiot felt like driving on bald tires with brakes that don't work and a cracked windshield they can't see through.

But whatever because on the whole, SC is amazing.

Well, bald tires is *more* of a non-white thing, thankfully.

Then again, Texas has annual inspections and the mexican car inspectors will pass anything if you pay cash.

I've never owned a vehicle in a state that requires vehicle inspections. Thank God, too. My Danger Ranger would've never passed.

In CA you'll get community service for windows that are tinted too dark.

Hey, it gives cops a reason to pull over shady looking vehicles.

And some doofuses run 2.5% tint, which is legitimately dangerous.

Yeah, you're not supposed to have really dark windows in Florida, but I've never know anyone to be ticketed for it. I think it's just a tool they use to stop you

I knew people in Missouri who got ticketed for dark tint. Those Germans in St. Louis don’t mess around, the cops run a tight ship. Orderly and clean.

I believe in CA, technically as long as the DRIVER window is not tinted past X, the rest can be blacked tfo. But try explaining that before you go to court.

To the citing witness

Lol

Reason being, if a cop doesn't see a threat before you roll down the window, they say they are at risk...but that's the legend.

I KNOW MY RIGHTS

Am I being detained?

@Freiheit - CA that's how it is here, on my car the back 5 pieces of glass are damn near blacked out, my front 2 are 5%, legal limit on the front 2 is 35%. Never had any problems for 12 years. The actual front windshield is 35% all the way down. It gets a little sketchy when it's raining at night.
But both times I've ever been pulled over I roll down both driver side windows so they can me while walking up to the car.

@TV yes

@RevStench Yeah, hey have to measure it...but they aren't trained how...so they botch the test if they even bother. Same goes for noise violations. They never use a properly calibrated SPL meter.

When I got my truck, it was an out of state buy so they do a quick inspection, the cop put the reader on my windows because they were after market tinted, it read 32 and he said, "hmmm close enough". Haha they don't care here.

@Tanner - SC well I do live in the hood now haha. But I traveled a lot and slept in my car a lot while traveling from auto plant to auto plant.

@Tanner - SC OMG

Privacy is an American tradition

Inspections are gay. If your state does inspections then you live in a commie state. Also I tint all of my vehicles also.

@here My car normally idles at <1000 but today on the way home from work it started idling at like 2000. I figure it's gotta be some kind of vacuum leak but I'm not sure how to find that, other than spraying flammable substances all over the engine which I'm not too sure about. Anyone have an opinion on whether this is safe to drive like this?

@sigruna14 have you tried turning it off and back on again?

@Mark Vandal Have you tried shaving with a propane torch?

@sigruna14 no but I think you may be onto something

^^^^@Pinochetball @JesseJames

Maybe you fellas can help a brother out

Propane is the safest way to go, or a static smoke test

@sigruna14 DM me

@sigruna14 IS it carbureted? Possible just a stuck throttle?

@Deleted User It's not carbureted.

@sigruna14 Bad throttle body on your injectors?

I mean, it could be a lot of things. Hard to know where to begin our if I should just let the shop deal with it.

well if its just a stuck throttle that's a pretty easy fix

What year make and model?
