Any one from N. Carolina

Where in North Carolina?

If it's Charlotte (Mecklenburg County) where my car is registered it's pretty stringent. Everything must be intact and they use exhaust sniffers. Surrounding counties do their own thing.

Thanks for the response it is about an hour outside of Charlotte, a place called Mt. Ulla.

I'm not from N. Carolina, but I'm only about 1hr5 mins away in Virginia, and I gotta say it can't get much worse than Virginia!

I know people that have moved to N.C. because they were more lax with the vehicle requirements and ways of doing things in general.

So I'm not much help but hope everything goes well with the move anyways :)

Looking forward to it since I'm retiring again. g

Now you guys have reason to come down to Florida where we don't have to worry about all that crap and somebody dies everyday in a traffic accident. The hurricanes blow all the bad stuff to the west. hehe Emissions testing made my hatred for NC even stronger and am so happy I left it.

Where in the HELL have you been, stranger? :-)

Thanks Michael I will look it up. Don't sound like I'm used too in Florida so I guess my long tubes will be going.

Been spending most of my net time on a couple of local boards, the Corral, and on a site a friend of mine started several months ago (where I am a mod for the Windsor stuff). Aside from that working, sleeping, working, sleeping, etc. (repetative cycle).

All counties require a safety inspection, which includes a visual inspection of emissions control devices.

The following nine counties do a tailpipe emissions test for '95 and older vehicles and all nine counties will continue that test through

Cabarrus Durham Forsyth Gaston Guilford Mecklenburg Orange Union Wake

On and after 1-1-06, all vehicles older than '96 will get only the safety inspection (which includes a visual examination of the emissions control devices).

As of today, several counties require an OBD test for '96 and newer vehicles, and more counties are phasing in the ODB test. The following schedule applies. Phase in will be completed by 1-1-06.
