The Highway Patrol can pull you over and issue a "fix-it" ticket, but those are no big deal. You fix it the following weekend or two, you pay the small fee, and that's that.

I actually think it's part of a nefarious plot. If every older car has some minor issue like a broken taillight, a misaligned headlight, or a wobbly wheel, then the police have probable cause to stop anyone driving such a car.

It makes the DWB (Driving While Black) and Damn She's-So-Hot stops much easier.

The first several seasons drove me nuts. Really? You can't find better cars than an old Winnebago with bad hoses and a Suzuki Samarai with no windows?

Oh yeah, and guns too. This country has more guns than people. You had a hard time finding guns?

If they found a car in the garage with an NRA sticker, they would know to ransack the house for the gun cache.
