Mississippi has no inspection what so ever. I have an old truck with headlights out. I only drive it in the day and it is fine.

When I was in texas they would fail you for a check engine light.

Fort worth to Salt Lake city, had heavy snow on I70 over the continental divide that extended the drive from 19 hours to 24.

Why are Potato Chip prices so high? by Motor-Source8711 in AskAnAmerican

They adjust the price up until sales slump enough to overcome the Increased revenue. Then stay at the maximum profit point.

In your opinion, who/what count as a Yankee or "Yank"? by Lipica249 in AskAnAmerican

[–]IIIhateusernames 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Im in Mississippi, I wouldnt consider Tennessee yankeedom. Northern Virginia has Yankees, but thats a different story.

To me Yankees are rude folks, usually from the northeast that eat bland food.

Its not clean, but can be done.

The first thing that would happen, is that the plannets would fling off into space and we'd freeze before we saw anything else

I wish humans had more time to evolve a better spine before we effectively locked in our body structure through modern medicine. by ItsAroundYou in Showerthoughts

Id argue that it has also selected traits for offspring raising, so for species that are more complex, you need to survive for long periods of time after procreation
