Should've happened years ago. The complex owners have been allowed to get away with letting the buildings rot for years now, all while masquerading as luxury apartments they expect $1500+/mo for

Yikes. It's a 2001. Guess it can sit for a few more years.

So what’s you’re plan, just sit in your car with a shotgun 24/7? Put an IED strapped ti your catalytic converter?

That is a very hefty fine if you're caught and the car isnt over 25 years old. Just be aware of that

I always get downvoted for commenting on what people of color face in this state. But thanks for your comment acknowledging this truth.

The mechanic offered to replace the empty space with a straight pipe. The price difference would probably be huge

Where are people getting razor wire? That’s a big liability

I've seen a few posts online about people putting razor wire under their cars to stop thieves

There is. There wont be a problem if what they're stealing is no longer required on vehicles.

Moved back from OR to CT recently. Biggest issues for me so far: — Deer ticks are out Year-round (especially this year due to warm winter). My dog has protection via Lyme vaccine and flea/tick medication but no Lyme protection for me. I can’t freely enjoy the outdoors in the same way I could in OR. — Mosquitoes and gnats are heavy in Summer months (much less buggy in OR and CA based on my experience) — Mentioned before: lack of sidewalks. It sucks to not be able to take long walks right outside my home or any place. Sidewalks vary and are not continuous. — Property taxes on house and vehicles can be crippling depending on what area you live. Though houses appear to be more affordable based on purchase price, check town tax rate to make sure you understand total monthly payments. Compared to OR, it is staggeringly high.

You can roast a chicken so it's more or less indistinguishable from rotisserie... Slow and low, with a burst at high heat to crisp it up. It's just really time consuming. But you end up with the same falling off the bone texture.

Yeah, along with paying for people who need to take leave to care for sick family members.

Reply to CT DMV can a car without title over 20 years old be registered if vin report came up as salvaged? by k24dj
You would need a reissued VIN from the state which requires an inspection. This happened to me last year when I inherited a classic car and it was a massive pain in the ass.

In the absence of major league pro sports teams, parents live vicariously through their kids' competitions. Pee wee soccer and little league baseball are absolutely cut throat. You've got parents who work at Pratt or Sikorsky building wind tunnels so their Cub Scout can win the Pinewood Derby. And don't get me started about college admissions -- parents will rub it in your face if their offspring gets accepted to an Ivy. Only in CT do you get "Your son got an 800 on the Math SAT? Why didn't you force him to go to MIT?"

As long as you have a q1 form that has the last registered owner on it or the licensed dealer should be good.
Sometimes the state makes you get it inspected.

After months of litigation and years of complaints by residents, a lawyer for the Town of Rocky Hill said he expects the owners of an apartment complex to agree to an outline of repairs by Friday.
“If they cared about their reputation, I don’t see how they can allow this to go on,” town legal counsel Morris Borea said publicly of the owners of Concierge Apartments at a town council meeting Tuesday.

It looks as though you may have spelled "Chick-fil-A" incorrectly. No worries, it happens to the best of us!

Reply to With Today being Iwo Jima day I just wanted to take a minute to show off CT's very own memorial in New Britain. It commemorates all that died in the battle but was mainly dedicated to the 100 men from Connecticut who lost their lives on this day 78 years ago by sporky211
