I'm glad I live where louder pipes are tolerated, even encouraged by the cops I've spoken to. As for the yearly "brake tag", if you drive it in and the lights work, that's about it. In fact ,if your vehicle looks halfway decent, they won't check a thing on it. Where my dad lives, in Mississippi, he swears he could "get a brake tag on a three legged donkey".Gotta love the rebel South. As long as there's big rigs spewing ungodly amounts of crap into the air, screw the tree hugging nancy boys, I say!
