Inspection issue
Probably not on the Vineyard, but it would be an issue at most if not all off-island inspection stations. It is with trucks (comm. vehicles), not to the degree it would be with passenger cars but something that will be scutinized. I feel silly telling an engineer it could have to do with the rubber drying out from outside sources, but simply that is generally the cause. All of my comm. vehicle stops I only found one vehicle that I had to red line for this. It was a crane that had no business on the road anyway. The tires were huge, and too expensive for the guy to replace. The crane was too tall to load onto a low boy because the total height was over 14'. So thats why he drove it over the road with a CON section 5 plate. Like a dleaer's plate, but issued specifically to developers/builders.
I always got a kick out of the ads for cars in the Gazette, if the ad said it was a GIC, good island car, that meant it had a current sticker. Regardless that upon transfer the sticker is void. Always like that one.
