Default Wish I had a camera

Ok so a few of you guys (and gals) know I'm out here in Tennessee visiting family for a funeral. Well anyway I'm from Maryland and we have some of the strickest vehicle laws on the east coast. Techinally there are only three things you are "legally" allowed to do.

So I'm riding to the liquor store with my cousin to get some beer for last night and what do I see........ a 95-99 Pontiac Sunfire riding down the street with no hood, no fenders, no front bumper, and no rear bumper! I was like WTF???? And my cousins were like yea there is practically no inspection laws out here. I asked them if he would get pulled over for riding around like that and they told me no as long as he had all his lights he would be fine. I was like damn thats crazy.

Anyways I wish I would of had my camera on me to take a pic of how stupid this car looked going down the road.

Well I guess I should get back to the family now..........

what part of tennesee?

I would have to guess eastern. nashville and memphis have inspections but Knoxville doesn't and I dont think chattanooga does.

I hope you enjoyed your stay(as much as you could...sorry for your loss)

Technically he did still have a bumper (except for that piece of foam), just took off the bumper cover. (Although I have no idea why anyone would want to do that)

I'm like 10 minutes outside of Nashville. My cousins who I was riding with though live out near Knoxville. It was outside Nashville where I saw the car. I mean it look ridicilious. Yeah it was just the bumper covers removed but ALSO the hood, and both fenders. I dunno why he was driving it but it looked stupid. I'd rather walked.
