    I think the US state of Georgia must have some of the least restrictive laws when it comes to inspections, at least in the south east. Every time I drive through that state, I see shit almost exactly like this. Bumpers hanging off cars scraping on the road. Hood and/or trunk lids held down by tape. 0 functional lights on the back of the vehicle. Windshields smashed to all heck and back, no way anybody can see out of that. Rear view mirrors without the mirrors. 3 doughnut tires, driving 80 mph (129 kph) down the interstate. I’ve seen it all, and I don’t even live there.

      Florida (and twelve other states besides, but of course Florida is on this list) straight up just doesn’t have inspections. If you can bolt a license plate to it, it’s legal to drive, road safety be damned.

      Georgia somehow does require inspections and yet still allows this trash on the road, which might be worse somehow, I can’t decide.

          First time I’d seen it used as a verb and yet is made complete sense. Language is a wonderful thing.

          Heck it even looks like some of those crashes that make you go “heh wonky physics” (the roof fold)

    Laughed so hard as a kid after T-boning the shit out of some car and seeing limp off like a sad, nodding dorito
