i know there is one guy on here, but he only has one post so i doubt he'll see this. what are the roads like down there? i assume they are in good shape, but are they fun to drive or just straight, flat, and boring like toledo?

Re: (cdlong)
hey man I broke down in sierra blanca texas, it is about 40 miles west of there, but from what i saw while trying to get the repoed car fixed is that it is a retirement community and that texas has some weird inspection laws. they don't run emission test but do a 25 point visual inspection of your car where if even a single thing like a headlight is out you will fail. i also believe that they turn down cars with aftermarkwt exhaust and stuff like that. i could not tell you about the roads because i was driving a new expedition but i will say that the cost of living is pretty cheap there.
Re: (driftercs13)
Abilene... ekkk. At least you got Dallas to your right. There is no emission test but there is the visual inspection test. It probably wont be hard to find a place that will let you go if you have a modified engine system. Some are pricks though. A buddy of mine needed to refill his power steering fluid so that he could pass. Exhaust is exhaust, short of it having a hole in it. There arent any tests down against the loudness of it. Nor should he be driving in a fashion to see how loud it is.

great, all i want is to be living with a bunch of old people. at least i will work with a lot of people my age. i will probably keep my car registered in ohio if the laws are goofy like that. all we have is an emissions test every 2 years and it will be easy for me to get out of.
Re: (driftercs13)
They do emmissons tests in select cities. Like I know they do it in the major cities like Dallas, Ft. Worth, so on and so forth. But i'm not sure about the smaller cities.driftercs13 wrote: they don't run emission test .
