haha since you're in central NY I'm sure you can relate.

When we moved back here about 2 months ago and went to register my truck (an '01 Blazer), the guy at the DMV came right out and said that yes, they are stickers, but they don't stick well so try to figure something else out until the state comes up with a better sticker. We've used double sided tape for my car, and the other 2 are just...whatever. Especially the Buick, it will be ruined in a few weeks anyway. The old Blazer will get a more quality job once Jarvis puts it in his name.

Sounds like fun.

Do us all a favor and invest in a decent seat belt / harness.

We know how fragile you are and I don't want to hear about you breaking in half because you impaled yourself on the steering column.
