By Philly police. The PPA and the State Police both patrol Philly and ticket for this since the state police took over patrol of I-95, 676 and I-76.

You said “license plates and registration are optional under this new law”. You are wrong, and you get the derision you deserve by saying stupid shit like that. Wanna be…

So far, all of these underground vaults have had failed waterproofing or decades of high humidity. It’ll be a whole lot of rust, rot and mold in there, and whatever bits were plastic.

Wow, OK. You have no idea what you’re talking about and you refuse to listen to those who do. Got it.

Good luck with that, kiddo.

Hideous exterior styling. If they worked on it, they might be able to make the front and side views uglier but I’m not sure how.

Jesus H. Christ, have you ever gotten a ticket, or are you just a third rate troll?
Like every other ticket, you get a certain number of days to pay the ticket. After that, penalties are added and your registration is suspended and if you drive it - or even park it on the street in Philly - you run the very real risk…

I am not in any way for license plate covers, clear or not. Just so there is no misunderstanding.

Anyone stopped - or parked on the street - in Philly with counterfeit, missing or expired inspection or emissions windshield stickers (or registration, or insurance cards, or driving without a license, driving while suspended or revoked) is subject to having their car towed and impounded on the spot via the city Live…

No, ya twit. For the love of god, develop some reading comprehension and think a little, OK?

No, ya twit. You still get the tickets, they just come in the mail. And if you don’t pay your tickets (parking tickets, inspection tickets, all of those) your registration is suspended. And you can’t legally park on the street in Philly with a suspended registration. The Philly Parking Authority is absolutely ruthless…

As both a mechanic and a dealer service manager who has seen a lot of funky electronic/programming/driveability issues - and filed a ton of TSB, recall and warranty claims for said issues -

I can easily see how this could turn out to be a **massive** shitshow. For new car owners, for dealership service departments,…

How is Nashville not enforcing the law Pennsylvania’s fault?

It’s not OK to drive with these defects, PA has mandatory statewide annual safety inspection, and this stuff has to work at the time of inspection or you don’t pass and don’t get your windshield sticker.

Philly native here. In practice, that applies to plates with one screw holding it on, plates that have plastic covers over them (including clear covers),bike racks that partially obscure the numbers or state, plates that are in the back window, cars at night with all the tag lights burned out or broken, etc.

Hydrogen is not ready for prime time.

Automakers lose vast amounts of money on every fuel cell car they sell.

There is essentially no refueling network outside of California, and the California refueling network is directly subsidized by automakers and very sparse, with only ~50 stations open to the public in the…

D’oh! Good point.

4200 units were potentially missing the inner and outer *front* brake pads

Except for the Mitsubishi 4G63, with the crank walk and all the Mitsubishi V6s with the oil burning and the Toyota Sienna 1MZ V6 oil sludging problem and the Honda 1.5T with the oil dilution problem and the RX-8 and RX-7 before that with the apex seals made of glass and the late model Hondas that spit out spark plugs…

A tried and true mechanic’s rule:
Anytime the key is inside the car and you’re not, leave the driver’s window down.

In 27 years of being a mechanic, I have never gotten locked out of my car or a customer car when I followed that rule.

Checks out.
Also, those were tanks, designed before Lexus made them compete on price.
