[QUOTE=TitaniumTT;102742]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?



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.

That is awesome, lol... and cheap. I like it. I will have to go this route for sure if it comes to that... I'm hoping my state inspector connection still has a job when the time comes...

[project86]

thats about the only thing i like about MT. no emissions here. and when i move back to TN i wont have to worry either

[TitaniumTT]

HAAHAHAHAAHA - Thanks awesome. I WISH someone would get pulled over for that. Excuse me bitch, where's you husband warning us?
What,
Get out of the car, we're going to need to tow it
HUH?
NO FLAG, NO DRIVE!

That's so awesome.

BTW -

From the weekend run in NY. The camera and editing is done by Steve, the owner of the turbo 8 that I'm trying to keep up. Those things HANDLE and my RT 615's are worn.... still, the 8's move through the turns!

[Nismo]

I told you the turkey call on the blow off valve was a bad idea!

[TitaniumTT]

That thing was close.... worst part, that's the second time in as many months that I almost sucked a turkey into the VMIC..... stupid things. After that vid we turned around to drive it again. We saw a family of four across the street, where the bastard originated from, and a large pile of poo right after a 15ish' tire mark.... ... ok maybe no poo

[Nismo]

Turkeys are stupid, but fun to shoot!!!

[TitaniumTT]

Yes, yes they are. If I was driving my truck I would've aimed for it as opposed to away from it. My old house was swarmed with those things. Walked out side one morning and my Shepard bolted off the deck and chased one into the woods. They are fricken hilarious when they attempt to fly. Later that week I caught one on the peak of the roof

Turkeys can fly, just too fat to do so, well laziness doesn't help, I was in the blind turkey hunting and saw one trying to get over the fence to mate with a hen, kept pacing back and forth, totally forgot he could fly over the fence, so I shot him... Survival of the fittest is still alive and well in the animal kingdom!

I hope you didn't eat him. I would be worried about catching some of his stupid. It's spreading like the plague recently.

[EJayCe996]

I must say, I laughed and clapped at the same time you did in the video immediately after the turkey incident... it was weird.... and then it made me laugh even harder.

[TitaniumTT]

haahahaahahaa.... Yeah, I think everyone on the road that day has been sending me txts - dud1.. the turkey was AWESOME!

20 seconds after that happened we all pulled over. I lost Sinned (the black FD - GORGEOUS car) and when he pulled over he asked, did anyone else smell tire? I laughed and told him what happened, then like a giddy female social group on the side of the road we pulled the camera and checked the vid, laughing hysterically.
