“Yep. He could trailer it to Florida and, even if he sold it for a fire-sale price, he’d still be making more than letting the State crush it.”
Not an option.
If it’s one of those annoying idiots who turns their truck into a “rolling coal” truck (with thick black diesel smoke) then I can understand New Jersey saying to destroy it or get it out of their state.
These people are idiots.
“Put it on a trailer, take it out of state, sell. 3 easy steps.”
Read the article. One easy step.
“Seems to me like NJ can’t do crap if he just takes it across the border and sells it in another state.”
Yes, they can!
He has already violated state law and they are not charging him for that. If he doesn’t comply with directive he is facing fines and jail.
“Off road beaters called hunting cars ..... Now banned by NJ Guvern-mint retards. Konstipated killjoys trying to spoil all the fun there is in life. Spit!
What a rip off!”
Where did you get that baseless rant?
I have two Dodge trucks, a 1997 and a 2001. Both take gasoline and both still run like tops. Only the plastic parts are shattering. And I DO mean SHATTERING!
Adding catalytic converter to older car increases power.
What state isn’t going to inspect the emissions equipment to license it there? That’s a non-starter.
Why would he remove the emissions equipment in the first place?
He should probably remove the engine and sell the rest of it as parts.
You sound like you don’t know enough about this issue to comment.
“Nashville and the surrounding counties stopped emission testing in the last year. EPA approved, the air quality in Nashville has improved.”
Since the emission equipment on the cars on the road hardly changed that can’t be the reason.
fixed.
Of course, if he transports it out of state, it will be, “FBI! Open up! We want the whereabouts of your truck! There’s room for it in our warehouse next to Mike Lindell’s smartphone and Hunter Biden’s laptop!”
Examples:
"hesadthis"
hesaidthis
Or sell it to a person in a state that doesn’t require emissions testing for on-road use.
There was an article on FR awhile ago about the IRS going to college campuses and recruiting, and running some mock actions.
The one they showed was taking down a small business owner by physical force.
The business owner wanted to sell his business and in the online ad talked about how it included two service vehicles. There was some issue with the values that he reported to the IRS regarding the vehicles with what he was quoting on his advertisement!
I can undertstand the state refusing to allow the sale (well not understand it, but understand that they are the power to title, so they could refuse the title transfer)... but I don’t understand for one second how if you own something and unregister it... turn its tags, so you can’t use it on the roads, how the hell the state can force you to do anything with that vehicle in terms of how it operates?
To meet road worthiness standards to be licensed sure, but if I go buy a beat up truck and its catalytic converter clogs or rusts out, telling me I can’t run it as a farm truck on my private property?
By what authority does the state have over this? My truck, my property, requires no license or even registration since I am not on the road... so business does the state have in this? How can the possibly tell someone put exhaust equipment required for road worthiness on your vehicle to use it in any way shape or form?
“Nashville and the surrounding counties stopped emission testing in the last year. EPA approved, the air quality in Nashville has improved.”
Nashville not in an I/M resting required area.
“Or sell it to a person in a state that doesn’t require emissions testing for on-road use.”
Not an option.
“Does this mean vehicle emissions testing is gone for good in Davidson County?
Not necessarily.
According to provisions in state law, if Davidson County becomes noncompliant with Environmental Protection Agency air quality standards, the EPA could mandate the county institute an emissions program again in the future.
But local health department officials say emissions testing controls just 2% of the county’s total emissions of pollutant Nitrogen Oxide.
“Our feeling is that if we do slide into non-attainment, it won’t be because we don’t have vehicle emissions testing,” Metro Health Department Policy Director Tom Sharp said. “We’ll have other things that we’ll need to address.”
” I don’t understand for one second how if you own something and unregister it... turn its tags, so you can’t use it on the roads, how the hell the state can force you to do anything with that vehicle in terms of how it operates?”
More to the story. He illegally (Fed and state) removed emission equipment on a vehicle registered for the road.
He illegally advertised the said vehicle for sale.
Most likely he was trying to dump it due to upcoming inspection requirement.
