In C-Ville? No shat? You get pulled over for looking the wrong way in that town. If he's never been pulled over in C-Ville then it MUST be legal, lol. Who knows. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, if it has mirrors on it, I don't think I'll have a problem, but I don't want to get pulled period, soooo.....

There's some Jethro down here in Richmond that runs a hopped up 'yota with no doors. I see it come out every summer, even seen him pass by both local PD and VSP and they didn't pull him, so I guess doorless is legal in VA (?) You can always check the VSP website or call their safety division if you want to get a definate answer.

yeah, too bad we don't have a cop on this forum who's a jeeper that could tell us for sure. HA! then we'd all give him shit for being a cop! there's probably one out there, just too ashamed and is hiding! couse he know's his jeeps not legal either! =) just a thought.

I live about an hour north of C-ville, and drive through there occassionally with no doors. Havent had any problems there or anywhere else in VA. You get some funny looks from people sometimes, but The Law hasnt ever said anything to me about it, so I (ASS-U-ME) that its ok. If the Wranglers and FJ-40s can do it, why cant we?

I ran last summer doorless. Didn't have any problems, just got LOTS of strange looks!
Just make sure you have another mirror other than your rearview.

You live in VA and have to ask?
Let's be pragmatic about this;
Just park you car & continue to pay taxes on it.
Nothing is legal in VA. There is a State Trooper or Deputy Sherriff or city police every 3 miles in that state, and their #1 priority is to hassel everyone, everywhere, all the time.
No one really knows or cares. Just please sign your ticket here. Pay the fine by the date shown.
I know I can do without Virginia for the remainder of my life.

can't find anything about lack of doors in here.

in the SA manual I remember the only thing I found about doors was that the windows must roll down, and the occupants must be able to open them from the inside. just throw some autozone cheapies on thats what I did. the cops only look for the mirrors and they had no idea I couldn't see a dam thing out of them.

to pass a virginia state safety inspection one of the things we look for is the lowest requirement which is a rear view mirror
