Why is it ribbed like the old Eclipse's?

Ha. Dumbass. Laws are in place for a reason. Just because nobody got hurt and traffic was already moving slow doesn't make it ok to endanger property and lives.

Brian, can you put this up as an update to the story? I almost missed this and it's really good info for people to get at the start.
