Default Re: New TRIM TAG law going into effect in Oklahoma!

[ QUOTE ]
Boy, this new law is taking a bashing on a few sites. Seems that a lot of people are broadening the topic to include changing any parts they want to change on the car to make it appear as it "could" have been built. Trouble is........they also consider the trim tag simply as another "part". Once you change all the other equipment on the car, then the logical final step is to change the trim tag to go with it (just for points in judging of course.....ha ha). (by the way, points=dollars later)
That same kind of thinking has evolved into reproduced build sheets to go along with the whore presentation (that was a typo, but it was so appropriate, I left it).
And it can go even further. I've seen a complete 3-ring binder full of documentation, including fake receipts from repair shops for work on a 4-spd transmission.........when I know 100% from my research that the car was originally built with a P/G. And guess what, the restoration of that '63 Impala was done by a guy who specializes in Corvette restorations!!!

They're probably the same "guys" who, after being dissatisfied with merely being tranvestites, go the full transexual route complete with the "gender reassignment" surgery. They then, logically, would try to have their birth certificates altered to show them as originally being equipped with female parts. After all, it's only for show, and who's getting harmed???

No one, unless you just happen to be the poor SOB who picks one up at a bar one night....

...or buys one of those "transexualized" cars that was originally a green on green, 6 cylinder, powerglide, Camaro coupe and it's now, through the wonders of modern surgery, a X-coded, firewall tagged, Vin-swapped, Hugger Orange, cross rammed, JL8, RS-Z/28.

Steve,
Your analogy to birth certificates is one I have used too. I consider the cowl tag as part of the birth certificate of the car, NOT intended to be altered.
One may be born Richard Wadd, so he can change his hair color, eye color, weight, height, hose, chin, belly and butt cosmetically. But even if he changes his birth certificate, he's really still just a Dick Wadd.
