Street racing violations are retarded? Sorry but I am all for strict laws regarding this. If you want to race go to a track.

I second the street racing laws because it is foolish to put everyone else in harms way because you want to drive like a jerk! I think the Springs should crush the cars like they do in Cali.

What are the laws on Motocycles? Anything out of the ordinary? And how are the police towards sport bikes? In texas or at least Houston they will pull you over for no reason just to check to see if everything is legal. Which is annoying when you are legal

blue laws are the way that petty politicians have of mandating their religion.

The biggest advocates of the "blue law" to close car dealerships on Sunday are the car dealers. By having a law requiring closure, the car dealers get a day off. Without it, some car dealers would open on Sunday, forcing all the dealers to open to compete. 7-day a week operations raise overhead costs. The same philosophy was held by the liquor store owners, until some of them got greedy and lobbied to repeal the blue law to allow them to open on Sunday. Now, most of the liquor stores are open 7 days a week. A couple of liquor store owners I know said repealing the "blue law" was stupid--they don't get any more business, but their overhead costs are higher.

Not sure I agree with you. The car dealer I dealt with said that Sunday would be their second biggest selling day of the week.

Well, more than one car dealer has told me that, "Any car we could sell on Sunday, we would sell on Saturday or Monday." Anytime there has been proposed legislation to allow dealerships to open on Sunday, it has been the car dealers that have gotten it killed.

I agree with Jazz. One other minor contributor in the old days was that banks and finance companies were closed on Sundays so it made it harder to roll a car that day. Not sure that's the case so much anymore since many dealers now use such organizations as GMAC or Ford Credit which probably operate 24x7.

I also recall in some cities back in the old days they mandated a 6pm closing time every day for the same reason.

I'll bet you'd find a real dichotomy though between dealers who support the ban and those who want it lifted. City center and small town/rural dealers are likely the ones keeping it going while the large suburban/exurban auto malls are probably lobbying like hell to get it lifted. If you think about it a bit you'll probably come up with why this is. You probably have a stronger rural/smalltown and city center dealer network than in other states.
