Is that a Michigan plate?

no idea

Yes

I bet it still runs! My favorite part is the caulk around the door handle. It’s probably holding the handle on.

It’s got to be. I’m a life-long east coast resident, my wife is from Michigan, when we went up there to visit her relatives I could not get over the number of cars driving around with rusted out panels. Or the fact that it didn’t bother anyone.
I swear it was like every other car had a fist-sized hole somewhere in the body.

It is I have one of those on the wall of my garage from my grandmother’s car. They stopped using that plate in the early 2000s IIRC

That’s what I thought.
Seen in Sutrgis, MI - Aug 2015.
It’s probably still on the road today.

You should have seen my uncle Gary’s 80's Toyota pickup. He finally had to stop driving it because there was not enough sheet metal left of the bed to keep the gas tank attached to the rest of the truck. Quitter.

He could’ve fixed it with enough bondo. Bondo hides all ills.
![]() 07/30/2017 at 09:56 |

Do they sell Bondo in 55 gallon drums? Cause he would’ve needed at least a couple of those.

One of the reasons why I support yearly safety inspections.

I guess they ran out of galvanizing primer the day they painted this car.

I think I deleted the pic, but there’s an early S-10 running around here in Chicagoland with essentially no outer bedside left. It’s easily lost 25% of its weight in rust.

An old Michigan plate. Those blue ones have been gone about 10 years now.

Better MPG and who needs A/C when the whole car blows air (and rust) on you :)

He even has a matching bumper! Perfect.

This right here is a reason I never moved back north after coming to Texas 20 years ago. I never see disgusting stuff like this on the roads down here.

you don’t like mobile death traps?

I prefer no cancer in my cars... I see plenty of rolling death traps though. Even with annual inspections we have too many on our roads that haven’t passed the inspection in years...

When was the top pic taken? I’ve been seeing the bottom one for years.

i don’t know, playing around with google brought it up.

It’s definitely within the last decade, given the blue on white MI plate on the Fusion. I *think* they changed them in 2008.

I’ve seen crap lie this in Wi to. I was amazed when I first moved there because I can’t from Maine which has annual inspections and requires you to at least cover your rust holes. One that made an impression was a second generation Ford Taurus with back doors you could see through, and the rear ended dragging on the ground because that shock towers had gone missing.

considering how prevalent rust is up north, i guess they’ve given up caring

Michigan and GM quality, working together to bring you this.

No you can still get that white MI plate as the basic one.

Michigan, USA! So to answer your question yes and no. Our country says developed world but Michigan roads say war zone. No inspections at all. This is totally legal.

It’s everything I expected.
Also, that background looks very familiar; I feel like I should recognize it, but I don’t. Kinda looks like Telegraph Rd in Detroit.

No, I meant they changed to the white plate in the last ten years.

Spent all of my 17 (soon to be 18) years in the very house I type this from. I looked it up, the blue lettering/white plate was released in 2007. Before that, it was the “Old Blue” plates.

WOW. That’s all I can say.
