please rate your envy on a scale of one to five, with one = WAY envious and five = 5X WAY envious.

I were YOU!

what the DMV is.

Actually does not mind going to DMV

lemongrass: it's the Department of Motor Vehicle. And it's usually a nightmare of an experience.

thanks! Over here, one has to take one's car in for a Ministry of Transport test at a certified garage one each year. Cars under 3 years

old are exempt.

lemongrass: this is for the driver rather than the vehicle. Infinitely wise Florida no longer requires vehicle inspections.

weird. In the UK, you pass your driving license and then you can drive, until you are 70. Then you have to renew every 3 years, but never

need to talk to the government about it.

Florida is quite a silly place.

to go back

NewYorkJew: indeed. We import it from NY and MI.

although NY is silly in many ways, it does still require vehicle inspections.

no inspections in FL? No emissions tests?

you can drive with no brakes there?

now has the Knights of the Round Table song in my head, thanks to reading the phrase "a silly place".

ell: I think some cities require but it's not statewide. And yes it does tend to lower the overall vehicle "standards."

Monty Python to the rescue!
