Wait, how the hell does that work? Certain metro areas are still subject to emissions but if you live out in the sticks, pollute away?

How is that? I thought TN was one of the states? Or is becuase your car will be beyond the 25 yr mark? My FC only has 1 more test to pass 2 yrs from now, the FD though, needs another 5 tests... if it was running today... ugh. Knowing me though, I'll have her finishished when she only needs 1

I wish it was that simple. The DSM guys all had those. Those fricken cars would pass a CT sniffer with no cat, they ran so clean.

That's about it in a nutshell.

Here in NC for instance,..( Mecklenburg county,..Charlotte area) EVERY car has to be smogged that is year model 96' and newer. I have property in Polk County( Saluda, NC,..AKA: "The sticks") And NO cars need to be smogged at all. It has to due with population levels here in NC anyways.

If there is not a mass of people living in one area, it is not profitable for the states to make you get smogged. Do NOT be fooled: Smog has NOTHING to do with the enviorment. It's all about the bejamins baby!!

Intresting off topic fact about TN: It is illegal for women to drive a automobile!...UNLESS, her husband is running and yelling in front of the car, WHILE waving a red flag to warn oncomers of the impending doom. True fact. TN FTW!!!

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!

Me too man, me too - thanks. The spool is just about instant. It's SICK! I don't think I ever hit full throttle or full boost. I seriously need some traction control over the winter. I've already starting talking with MoTeC about it. Doesn't seem like it'll be too bad on the old wallet either. One one route won't be. I was thinking about an expansion box so I could do a little AUX playing around, but I just don't need it. The AIT's are are fine, there's really no need so I think I'm just going to get the traction control expansion box which is like 20% of the cost.

Yeah man, those things were nuts. The silver one was on C/O's and NT-01's. STOCK engine with a catback. Basiaclly 190RWHP vs my 405 and I couldn't really keep up. They were pushing it harder than me, but still, yeah, sticky little mothers, I destroyed them on the higway though

Yeah I know, but it was destined for the 8 club so I can see why they did it. We're heading out again this w/e if the weather holds, I'll push her a little harder. I'm still waiting on the vid that was on the back of Steve's RX8 pointing at me. Oh well, what can ya do. The turkey was awesome though. That twice now I almost pulled into the bumper.

It really wasn't a "whoa" or a word..in any language for that matter. Actually was the sound a person makes like.. lets say when your stomach shifts and you realize you are about to shit your pants and there is nothing you can do. OR it is the sound one would make after waking up in a strange place after a crazy party night next to a hermaphrodite and seeing a used condom on the night stand table. Yeah.., that is the sound for sure.

btw I have no idea what the 2nd description is like NOR have I been there, I just imagine that is how one would react vocally.
