- The wrong end of Nebraska . . . .
The widow of an acquaintance of mine is still driving the 1961 Ford Falcon he bought her new as a wedding present. Since I told him I'd keep an eye on the car safety-wise, I was over there recently to change the oil, lube, etc. I couldn't help noticing that it still has a line of window stickers from the old safety inspections back when Nebraska did them.^^^^^
I’ve never lived in a place that required vehicle safety inspections as a condition of licensing. Emissions, yes, but no one is checking for bald tires and metal-on-metal brakes (with brown brake fluid) and rusted-out structural members.
