Well yesterday was not a good day at all.
I was out looking at some computers for my place since this one is starting to pack it in. I left the store and headed on my way to walmart to buy a few things.
I pulled out of the parking lot and headed down Veterens Parkway. I got in to the fast lane and stayed there for some time. I looked in my mirror and noticed a line of cars with a cruiser tailing the group.
I looked at my speedo, and its reading 60km/h, The exact same as the posted speed limit. So I decide to switch lanes. Put my right turn singal on wait the few second and get over in to the slow lane, to allow te group and cruiser right on by. Just as I swith lanes the cruiser whips in to the slow lane aswell. and like clock work so do the lights. I pull over, an get my liesence and paperwork ready.
The officer walks up to my door and says, " Where are your mudflaps?"
And Im thinking, Mudflaps? you pulled me over for mudflaps? Really are you kidding me.
So I replied, "Didnt know I needed mudflaps?" ( kinda playing dumb. )
He walks aways and gets in to his cruiser, Ive shut my truck off at this point. So Im watching this guy in his car hes reaching all over his cruiser, looking for something. and Im thinking what could he honestly be looking for. well then I see another cruiser pull up. Now I have two Police cars sitting behind me. And its very busy road. Mean while Im looking at my clock and ive been there for 15 mins at this point. the other officer gets out of the car, and walks over to the other car, hands hima blue book walks awa and then leaves. so Im thinking, he must of run out of tickets.
another 10 mins goes by, hes is still in his car. another 10 mins goes by and finally he jumps out of his car and comes back and says, Im not going to write you a ticket for having no mudflaps. Im thinking oh few im getting away free this time. then brings up this blue piece of paper.
He then says, Ever had one of these. He says " A notice of order" Im thinking for what now!!!. he then tells me its a VI (Vehicle Inspection). Yeah insted of handing me a ticket for no mudflaps, which would of run $89 bucks. He gave me a VI which I have to pay $125 to have the inspection done. oh and that also means I have to fix everything I know needs to be fixed right now, or I dont pass.
So I know I need shocks 4 of them. roughly 300 buck, there. I also need to find someone who wont care about my truck missing the muffler and cat. since im straight piped. but if not I need to figure out who to get that or get around it.
It does really suck, and then he went on to tell me how ever truck has mudflaps, and they dont sell them with out mud flaps. I then said I bought the truck with kow mudflaps, and he replied well you best take it back to them. and then I said my uncle has bough 2 brand new trucks this last year, and both of them never came with mudflaps, and he said well he better take them back to.
What a Crock.
I hate mudflaps, and I really hate when your sitting on the road watching all the lifted trucks with bigger tires and wider tires drive past you, with out mudflaps. and the fact that trucks dont come with mudflaps, inless ordered or installed after.
but you know sitting there for 35 mins also ticked me off. That was unnessary. anyways thats all I got, sorry for the long thread. oh yeah I have to find a pair of Mudflaps I like, so if you have a truck with mudflaps on it, please PM some pics or post them on the thread.
