@e_brugal : It looks all cosmetic. Does it still run?

1 tail light
1 head light
passenger side window
hammer/heat gun out hood and fender
paint
battery (parked for 5 years)
both rear view mirrors

assuming under the hood is fine, not a terrible repair. would be street legal after putting in the lights and side window.


In idiotic Ohio, that thing is already street legal.  There are ZERO vehicle inspection requirements.  Like we don't even have vehicle inspection :P

Missouri has vehicle inspection, but it's a joke.  Anything, and I mean anything will pass, but at least they get your $20.  They also have emissions testing, but again, it's a joke.  Any car older than 1990 (or some time around that) isn't required to take a test.  And those are the cars that really need to be looked at. ::)

Illinois doesn't have any type of inspection.  We have emissions testing in my county, but diesels are excluded so my car gets a pass. ;)

Here in the Dominican Republic there's an inspection but is every 4 years I thing. But is also a joke, they only check lights, nothing else. I can run with the car in that condition but if the police see me without the those broken lights they will stop me and but I won't get a ticket, I will have to pay them (for real, pay them, not the state, not the police, to the guy who stop me) to let me go, and if other police stop me is the same, telling me that I'm going to get a ticket or going to jail  :P

I hear driving in the Dominican Republic is pretty dangerous.  I assume Oscar Taveras's death was a pretty big deal over there.  It sure was here in St. Louis.  :-[ I was at the game where he hit his last homer.

Oscar taveras dead was all over the news, every body talking about how the accident ocurred.

Driving here in the D.R.  Is chaotic, depending on the city you live there are 3 types of public transportantion, Governmet busses and trains, association of cars and association of motorcicle (cars and motos are the dangerous ones). there are also Taxis and private busses that take you from one city to other but i won't count thoes as dangerous. We here say that if you learn how to drive in the Dominican Republic you will Drive in any place in the world lol :P

the Association of cars: You remember thoes Toyota Corollas and Honda Civic back from the 1988 -1994? well, those are the cars they use for public transportation here (not the goverment ones), Those cars are supposed to hold 4 passengers + Driver, well they manage to get 6 + driver  :P. if they are going to change lines in a street, they think that if they put on the turn light that meens that they can change line without any precaution and the one that is supposed to reduce or stop is you, in other words you have to protect him and you. some times they change from the right line to the left line without seing, 3 and 4 lines together. if they hit you, you are lost, they don't have insurance and no money, so you have to repair your car. if you hit them you'll have to pay them.

The Association of motorcicle: or as they like to call them self "Moto Taxi" lol, This is the same think as the cars ones, but if you hit one you'll have 20 of them all over you discussing why you hit him (they don't now each other but they will deffend each other) and for the police you are guilty. IF ONE OF THEM hit you, is the same thing and for the police you are also guilty  :o ::). They don't respect Red lights, so if you are in a trafic light and is green assume like is a yellow one and reduce your speed. Also they think that if they have a red light they can turn to the right (in that part they are right) but they turn when there are cars crossing so you'll have to stop, and when you try to talk to them to let them know that they can turn right if no one is corssing, they say to you that they can turn right in red and that you should stop lol  ::). One way street is two way for them.

and so on........

so, if you learn to drive here, you will know how to drive in any place in the world  :P
