Yup - In VA, most of your counties are free of emissions but all require visual inspection (cat, air intakes, smog pump, etc). For me - I lived and worked in Loudoun county where they had emissions, so I kept my RX vehicles registered to my parents address as being "garaged in" their county so I never had to worry about emissions. Now that I've moved back to the "sticks" I dont have to do that loophole any more.

Side note... northern VA counties are going to start using (some already have I believe) sniffers on the ramps in our metro areas to sniff your car as it passes... tell me how thats going to work!?

Its all a money making scheme - we have more people in Fairfax county than most STATES all together. Our population between DC and Prince William is insane - thats the only reason they run emissions there...




Nice video - although, I almost feel like the editing/commentary was poking fun at the FC, lol... "Look at the gap the RX8 puts on the old FC" "Look at how good the RX8 is", etc... they should send that to mazda for their next commercial, they need to start selling more RX8s!
