For those who do not know , I live in NH .
I have been driving for 57 years and every year has been pure misery .
My dad taught me about cars and how drive within the limits of the car .
If a car is not safe — make it safe .
If a car is getting along in years — treat it as such .
I drive a 2003 Honda Civic EX Coupe and I drive within the limits of my machinery .
Having a 22+ year old car , I must drive as such .
I respect the car , its value , and its weaknesses .
NH has implemented that motor vehicles no longer need yearly inspections starting as of Jan. 31st 2026 .
My exact words to my mechanic were , … ' here is my view , wait for it ' — and I let out a sigh of relieve and told him ‘ that was 57 years of frustration leaving my body ‘ . I have been against yearly inspections all of my driving life .
I just have one thing to say to the government of NH , thanks , however it is — to little too late .
There are way to many mechanics out three that have taken advantage of drivers by stating needless repair must be done or “ I can`t get you a sticker “ . Many have said those very words to me in the past 57 years .
I bid you all God speed and please be kind to one another .
Til’ my next entry , be well ,
