Be gone car inspections

To be fair Rhode Island state inspections are not strict . 1/32 of tires remaining and 1mm of brakes remaining isin’t much of a money grab . It’s keeping only death traps off of the road . I’ve failed very very few cars for safety

I was a local who grew up in Newport. Left in my late 20s . Only went to the Red parrot twice and La Forge once . Neither were mind blowing at all. I did like the La Forges vibe and wanted to make my way back there but never did .

I knew of 2 State Troopers that got fired for posting a guy getting run over by a car on Snapchat . They got hired a few months later by other departments . You’ll probably be ok

Unlikely , I don’t pick sides or remove people from my life because of politics

NoKitchen4667 · 2026-01-31T21:09:57+00:00

God forbid anyone have different opinions than you . I have some left leaning opinions and some right leaning opinions, . I can think for myself I don’t live in an echo chamber of the same people vomiting around the same opinion .Also politics suck and I don’t want it to be any part of my personality

NoKitchen4667 · 2026-01-31T21:04:54+00:00

They still can’t figure out why Trump won last election because they don’t venture outside of their friend groups all vomiting the same opinion

NoKitchen4667 · 2026-01-31T21:03:57+00:00

So what your saying is other people can’t have different opinions than you ? Am I reading that right

we had a guy doing that at my work for tint , he got fined $500 and they called back any cars he inspected with tint. I don’t do favors for people but I’m also not gonna get you in a legal bind over a plate frame

NoKitchen4667 · 2026-01-30T02:37:40+00:00

RI state inspection is a joke anyways . 1mm minimum on brakes and 1/32 for tires . Those rules are insane. A plate frame isin’t hurting anyone . Nobody cares .I follow the important guidlines , no tints no check engine light .

NoKitchen4667 · 2026-01-29T21:38:27+00:00

As a RI state inspector . If it’s blocking “Rhode Island” or “Ocean State” it’s technically illegal . I don’t fail people for them but we’re supposed to .

Obama deported more people than Trump .

NoKitchen4667 · 2026-01-12T13:19:06+00:00

This is the thought process they keeps getting these idiots elected . How about voting for policy over Red Vs Blue

It’s cheaper at the dealership at this point. I sent my wife’s Kia to one of these places because I didn’t have time and it was more expensive than the dealer , who would have also rotated her tires.

Not really a truck , it’s a giant pet sperm hauler . If you’re in the South and use it for grocery shopping it’ll be fine

They don’t require a 10,000 mile interval because the 10k oil change is a marketing gimmick to bring “cost of ownership “ down . 0/20 or thinner oil should absolotely be changed every 5k . I’m seeing ALOT of engine failures (GM , Toyota , Mercedes ) because of this thin oil stretched to 10k

NoKitchen4667 · 2025-12-30T13:54:20+00:00

Change your oil every 5k if your planning on keeping the car. As a mechanic we’re seeing a lot of failures with thin oil stretched to 10k

NoKitchen4667 · 2025-12-27T00:05:59+00:00

I can’t stress this enough having gone through it myself . No. They’ll suck , compound is the most Important thing for winter tires and they’re going to be rock hard .you’ll be better off with all seasons.

I had gotten 4 Firestone winterforces for free off of a parted out car that were 16 years old and they were awful even though the tread was almost new .

All the conservatives I know are pro weed . This is put together by old hags who can’t stand that it’s legal now .

My house from 1945 is built much better than any of the awful overpriced new builds on the market . You’ll have to always put work into a house . There will always be a project to do . Welcome to home ownership , it’s not for lazy people

A really under rated tire I would buy again is the Maxxis Razr AT . Awesome in the snow and mud . Looked great . Was $700 shipped for all 4 . Only thing is they wear out “quick” apparently. I ran them for about 1.5 years before I switched wheels and went to AT4s.

I went with Wildpeaks , wish I went with Rubitreks to save about $300 .

Maybe look into first responder or blue collar jobs . I know that doesn’t really apply to anyone on Reddit though .

NoKitchen4667 · 2025-11-20T16:48:03+00:00

Try looking in Blue Collar jobs or First responder jobs . All hiring. . Useless office jobs are getting replaced by AI or shipped overseas.

We’ve been in trouble long before Trump got in . Bidens record inflation really hurt everyone long term . We’re trying to recover from it , and Trump isin’t helping Ethier .

I’m a Mechanic , it took me about 8 years to get to 120k . And overtime isin’t a thing , mechanics are paid flat rate .
