Another Slap

Today as I was running errands in the wonderful twin city area I observed another Slap in the Face to all legitimate Antique Vehicle Owners.

A Van of the Aftermarket Conversion type driving down the road. No big deal right, but it was noon and it was going into Burger King. Still not a big deal ? It stopped and a work crew got out and got lunch.

The vehicle had ladders on the top for a paint crew of some type and equipment visible inside the vehicle. Definetly being used as a commercial vehicle.

With Antique Plates affixed to it in plain sight and no State Inspection Sticker.

I have nothing against the legitimate antique vehicle owner or their vehicle as long as it used as it was meant to be used. My problem lies in people who use the benefits of this type of registration to get away from the requirement of Inspection. Either because it is too costly to repair or they just don't care that they are endangering our right to use this registration as it should be used or that in all probabilty are in endangering the general public to bodily injury. But now to use it on a commercial vehicle is even worse.

When the State Cracks Down it will Hurt Us All.
