Pushing it isn't a problem legally, only physically demanding. A trailer may be your best bet. You may even be able to get the dealer or private seller to ride it to your home in exchange for a ride back or uber

Yup, wife was on t-mobile before we got married. It was horrible anywhere north of southern NH

I went Monday and there were more trails open from the top. Tiger lift runs were in good shape too. They are doing well with the cards they were dealt. We've definitely had better conditions at the beginning of January but we haven't had much natural snow this winter

I think there is a happy medium. One trip to michigan would show you what it could be like to allow people to do this in a state that has roadsalt. You'll see truck bedsides flapping in the wind as you go down the road. Cracked frames on vehicles, broken windshields, non-functional lights, etc.

For me the happy medium is allowing more budget friendly fixes on non-structutal/safety related components. Rusted cab corners on a truck is not a big deal, just let the owner bondo it and it will hold for a few years.

Unfortunately, the cost of not doing it is so high now with inspection failures. rust repair is never cheap and most of the time you only want to buy another year or 2 on the vehicle, not restore it so it lasts 15 more years

Even in Chelsea, it wasn't a universal program. It was only a small subset of applicants as a part of a study utilizing grants from charitable foundations. I haven't read about any upcoming programs in Boston

Few and far between. I didn't say the regulation made sense given the rural nature, but thats the end goal of it

I wouldnt gamble on something that janky.

Just fix it with bondo before you fail. Sand it smooth and hit it with some paint and you shouldnt have an issue passing

The same lines at the airport have facillities in chelsea for a bit cheaper. You still need to use a major carrier

Any of the major ones at the airport will do this. Its more expensive but doable

You are right. Once you fail, bondo is out. If you bondo before and hit it with a mediocre paint job, it will pass.

You do not need new fenders for your car, but you do need them patched. On fenders you can do a bondo job or whatever you want but it has to be smooth. The reasoning is pedestrian safety(for fenders). If you hit someone, those sharp holes can do a lot of extra damage

The worcester commuter rail line worked well for me for 5yrs. There were some delays but nothing noteable or systemic. I don't work in Boston anymore but it was a fine commute into town once I moved out to the suburbs

Before spending money on a high speed train, we could look at denser housing options within 1 mi of commuter rail stations. You may be surprised by the lack of density not far outside the city. Just check out the google arial view around the stations

I went out to sunday river last weekend. It was pretty good

OP said he got out, not in. I took that to mean someone else parked like a jerk behind him, making it hard to get out

Yeah, no problem parking there as of last week

This. For only 25gal, you would be better off just hauling it

Your registration can't be refunded if you fail inspection. You'll have to repair and reinspect later

With an appointment!

Is this only for commercial? My passenger car registration doesn't say this.

It all depends on the area you live in. Its usually structured as a pickup cost then per mile. Last time I looked into it it was $100 for the pickup, then $4.25/mi.

I have a truck so a uhaul trailer rental is $50 and has unlimited miles. You can also rent a pickup and trailer combo from uhaul.

Don't forget, you need to figure out how you are getting to the DMV to register it, because you can't drive the new car.

From a private sale, the only legal way is to tow it. We unfortunately don't allow temp tags in MA. I rent a uhaul trailer and tow it myself when I buy private party but you can also call a tow truck. Just a note, AAA won't tow an unregistered car.

Some people play "musical plates" and swap plates over from another car but this isn't legal. Some run it home without plates which is also illegal.

You could possibly swap plates and then have AAA tow it. You wouldnt be breaking any laws but idk how much they will look into it. They've never checked my registration when towing my cars.

A properly repaired frame will pass inspection. My car has a patched frame and I've had a few shops mention it. Say it looks good and its awesome I saved a classic
