Yep Jay,
They usually take bounced checks pretty serious in Tennessee. I am not sure
of the amount but over a certain figure is considered a felony..I am
thinking 500 bucks, but it may be lower than that. I try not to bounce any
so I don't know! But you can and will go to jail for doing it. Maybe the
difference between misdemeanor and felony is county jail and state pen? hee

Pretty close. Misdemeanors carry sentences of less than 1 year. There's also a
limit on the fine that can be levied, but I'm sure it's gone up since the last
time I knew any details (used to be $1,000 back around 1970). Sentences of less
than 1 year are typically served in the county jail. Felony convictions are
served in State penitentiaries.

There's plenty of room for all of God's creatures. Right next to the
mashed potatoes.

Yeah,
That's pretty much how I had it figured. So don't write bad checks around
my house, or you go to the big house and become Bubba's love slave!!! HAHAHA
And I think over the state line in Virginia they behead you if your
exhaust system is not up to code. Yeah I am just kidding there, but Virginia
is terrible at harassing drivers. Always lots of police reports in the paper
( they put the Scott, Lee and Wise County , VA. in the Kingsport, TN paper)
with lots and lots of out of state people being pulled over and fined for
window tint. Hole in exhaust pipe, etc. etc.
But oh well we go over to VA and get groceries because their sales tax
is so low. So I just keep my fingers crossed the whole time I am in The Old
Dominion.

I wish Iowa had something like that. I've got a neighbor who takes great
pride in the fact that his '73 Dodge Dart still runs. Unfortunately, he's
kept it original stock -- including the muffler...and he goes to work EARLY.

I've been sticking pins in little Dodge Dart dolls for months now. Luckily,
I think it blew a head gasket the other day, so my voo-doo finally worked!

....and you think this will kill that slant six? I laugh at you. Haha. He'll
probably drive it that way for months :-)

Voo-doo the "brain box" on the firewall. That'll stop a slant six Dart every
time - easy fix if you have a spare and recognize the symptoms though. Other
voo-doo point are the tie-rods and/or rusted A-frames. Snap! Doh.

Starters are too easy to replace (come at it from the top, like you're
changing a spark plug) and engines never die - don't waste your mojo there.

Dart 225 slant six ...........3 (1973, 75, 76)
Dart 318 V-8 ..................1 (1974)
Aspen 225 slant six .......1 (1979?)
Total ...............................(5)

Just be grateful you're not in Milwaukee. The Harleys are starting to appear
again and as we all know they are exempt from any of the muffler laws.

I should be able to charge my neighbor the cost of my Tivo. Until I bought
it I'd miss 15 minutes of dialog every time he'd go somewhere on his "hog".

Hee hee! I've lived all over Wisconsin, including Milwaukee -- and I know
EXACTLY what you mean.

Quite frankly, I just don't understand many Harley riders. I've ridden
motorcycles for 28 years, and have NEVER felt the urge to drill holes in my
mufflers -- yet, for some odd reason, Harley owners feel compelled to make
themselves as annoying as possible.

I suppose they are the equivalent of the guy in the 210 that flies over Iowa
City at high RPM and low altitude every few days...

The reasoning they use is louder=safer. We all know that car drivers tend
to ignore motorcyclists. If your bike is loud, it give the drivers
another clue that you might be in their blind spot.
