South Park hybrid smashing

The Toyonda Pious and Hindsight?? Excessive smug emissions from hybrids?
C'mon people. Hilarious.
Painted a perfect picture of these screwheads that come into the dealer
with their "package 2 Super White Prius with cargo net and Nav that I
waited two months to get" vehicles. Browsing the New York Times on their
laptops through horn-rimmed glasses waiting in the customer lounge while
they sip $10 coffee drinks and wear turtlenecks. Wierdos.

I get the feeling you aren't a big fan of the environmentalists.

No problem with environmentalists at all. You wanna help the planet, kudos
to you. What bugs me are these weenies that buy hybrids for no other
reason than to be seen in a hybrid, then throw in your face how socially
responsible they are every chance they get.

Or the idiots here that buy environmental plates for their Hummer. Why the
heck does a Hummer have CAR plates on it, anyway? Anything with a gross
weight that high ought to be registered by Gross Vehicle Weight, i.e. a
TRUCK.

But then again, something funny is going on here in Illinois. I see a lot
of trucks registered with NOT truck tags. NOT RV tags, but with out and out
PASSENGER tags, i.e. Car tags. I can remember when VANS in Illinois always
had truck tags, now most of them have car tags.

They're called a back seat and rear seat belts, which legally make
many light trucks and vans nothing more than heavy cars.

I had a 1978 Lincoln that weighed 6000 pounds, which is quite a bit
more than the typical 1/2 ton pickup or van.

You mean like pulling up to the pump next to you and only putting in a
dollars worth while you struggle for the second time in a week to fill your
car? Hehehe I do that all the time. It's fun.

My main mode of transport gets over 45mpg and my secondary mode gets 30. I
don't think I'm too far behind you there, boy.

Check the Illinois Vehicle Code statutes to be sure - and remember
the Official Motto of Chicago, "Vote early and often." ;-) Some big
companies, unions or trade association just might have greased the
right palms in the statehouse and gotten an exemption through. That,
or word got around that they can sign the 'non-commercial use
affidavit' with their fingers crossed and it doesn't count.

If you ever see a SUV Van or Pickup with [passenger car tags on it
in real commercial service and you know it's against the law, write
down the license, take pictures if you can to show the company signs
plastered on the side (and the stacks of Stuff in the back and the
ladders on the rack) and call your local DMV office - they want to
know.

(And the pictures are to shut up the 'Alligator Tears' complaints
when they guy cleans out the truck and removes the magnetic signs
before driving to the meeting, feigning total innocence.)

In California you can get passenger car tags on a pickup truck or
cargo van - even a Class 7 Semi Tractor if you tow a large 5th wheel
camping trailer - that would normally register commercial. But you
have to have a permanent shell or hard tonneau cover on the back of a
pickup, and sign an affidavit that this vehicle will never be used to
carry cargo or passengers for hire, or to be used for any commercial
purposes. Big fine if they catch you cheating, plus the difference in
the back registration fees.

And there's even a bit of an advantage to having commercial plates -
you get to park in that "15 Minute Loading Zone" - you're working...

And of course _you_ know them when you see them? ;-) Do try to
allow that the smile on their faces may be innocent of gloating.

That's good. I hate to think cycles hadn't improved since my Triumph days.

No, I'm talking about regular pickup trucks with a bed in the back with CAR
tags. I've seen quite a few lately on the road. Car tags here in Illinois
have a different color and different numbering than truck tags. Vehicles
with a bed and liner in the back and only one row of seats are usually
called a pickup truck. I'm not just talking about Stupid Useless Vehicles.

Your Lincoln was not a car it was a land-yacht. Should have had to be
licensed as livery or something like that, as big as it was.

The Illinois Vehicle Code, Chapter 95 1/4 of the Illinois Revised Statues
defines a pickup truck as a Second Division vehicle. Period. If it was for
non-comm use, it would get RV tags, not passenger tags here. Illinois
doesn't have a 'non-comm' exemption form like Ontario and California. That's
the way the law has worked since 1969. And the demarcation between First
and Second Division was pretty well fixed in July 1920, and hasn't changed
much since then, except vans are cars now.
