^^ F Rutgers, that is why i'm going to school out of state. And the F the NJ DMV, I'll never get my car inspected there again. Last time they let it get soo hot it developed suspension squeaks, and the time before that a big fat guy with a black belt got in and left a nice black mark on my camel seat. Besides some of the nasty people and some of the dirty beaches and areas I love NJ. Especially monmouth county into seabright and sandyhook, nothing like curising down the hook when the sun's going down on a nice summer night. I've grown to appreciate NJ more for what it's worth after living up here in Vermont, where there is nothing but slow people, mountains, and cows.

NJ FTL Actually the entire Northeast US FTL

Dirty South FTW

I have lived in NJ till I was 18, then I lived in upstate NY for 4 years and have been everywhere in the northeast and I hate it up there. Anywhere in the South is way better then anywhere up North. I have lived in TX and GA and I love living in either state.

Personally, I love south jersey. Maybe because it's so far different than the north End of the day it's still NJ tho

Rutgers is an awesome place IMO, but if at any point in going to school you are not 110% sure of what you are doing in your collegiate career, they will sniff you out and make your life a living hell until you just leave.

I lived in south jersey, the cherry hill area. That whole area is a dump and it smells bad too. When i drive up there to visit my family as soon as i cross the Delaware bridge i swear I immediatly smell the trash of what is NJ.

The only decent part of NJ is the beaches and guess what? We have nicer beaches and warmer water down here in the south, lol.

And just to top if off that state if full of goofy liberal socialists that will tax you to death.

Yea no ****

I've been down near the Burlington/Browns Mills area and to me it doesn't seem that bad... NJ always smells like trash, after 23 years I've gotten used to it I guess

IMO the beaches suck, period. Only beach I've liked is in SC, water was warm and crystal clear.

BTW PM sent about that RPM thing.

Well, after much drama I got my Wrangler registered. Today I went to have it inspected. The first thing the guy did was measure the distance from the bottom of the door to the ground. It was four ******* millimeters too high so I failed. he said Nj does not allow more than a 4 inch lift. My lift kit is a 4 inch lift. So WTF????????????!!!!!!!!!!! I have to take it to a place in Ancora for a stability test. If it fails that I'm shooting someone. On a good note, the dude that failed me (he didn't want to, his boss was watching him) squared me away with some info about my TA when I told him I didn't even want to think about trying to get it to pass. He said I can have it registered as a collector car and all he will look at for inspection is the odometer. I won't be allowed to go over 3K miles a year. Which is no big deal because when that expires in two years I'll be back in Texas. I was getting ready to order a QTP catted Y pipe, and some Hotchkis springs to raise my car so the cats wouldn't scrape. So at least I don't have that worry.

Fill that sucker up with a few hundred pounds of sandbags. That'll lower it the required four millimeters.

Shoot, I thought airing my tires down to about 10lbs. But they probably check tire pressure, too lol

Yea seriously... I had my old car registered as a collector, and it went exactly as described, it's actually very useful if you don't have a prayer's chance to pass. Sure enough you just drive right to the end of the inspection line and they square you away, takes about 10 minutes.
