Mississippi has no vehicle inspection and its starting to show.

I love having to pay to prove my car is suitable to drive on the roads that are unsuitable for my car. It's a complete joke. Only a portion of the population bothers with it anyway. There's a bunch of uninsured beaters on the road at present.
Roads in Maryland that are maintained by the state are very good. When it's up to broke-arse local municipalities like this city, the roads are atrocious.
