Welcome to Vermont. The local govt hates the poors. I drive uninspected until I get pulled over. It’s cheaper to just pay a fine instead of spending thousands of dollars in unnecessary bodywork.

I went three years doing this, worked out to the same amount of $$$. Just make sure you have insurance.

I did that too. The fine was cheaper than getting inspected.

What was the fine. I heard something about it only being like $6. I also heard that they can’t pull you over for no sticker on it’s own. Not sure if either is true

Neither of those is true. It was 125 or something the last time I got one. Pulled over for the sticker. I pulled the damn sticker, and called it a day

So you'd rather get whacked with fines rather than spending a sunday afternoon with some bondo and sand paper? man you're basic.

My car is nearing 20 years old. If a few lil rust spots were my only issue I’d strap on my big boy pants and become an esteemed weekend bondo mechanic like yourself.

Some of us just suck at body work. I can rebuild a motor in my sleep but bondo holy freaking disaster.

yeah - i've gotten better at it since getting into wood working... takes time, patience and ambition. Rebuilding a motor is no easy feat though, props to you for getting to that level of mechanical mastery.

It's just numbers really double triple checking everything. Now performance work like head porting and other stuff is an art kinda like bondo IMO.

Agreed. It's definitely crazy shit when you get into the nitty gritty of things.

I had a buddy that did some crazy shit to his late 90's prelude. Dropped an H22 in it, super charger, and all sorts of goodies.

We would spend hours on the highway tuning air / fuel rations with honda shop cat doing pulls on 89.

Fun fucking times.
