No emissions! Fl. seems to be pretty lax on all car stuff, at least further north. I ran an open true dual exhaust on a 351W in my truck for a while with no problems, even with the po po behind be. Got to be too annoying, so I slapped on some flowmaster 40s. I know of plenty of exhaust shops that will cut out cats too (cause they did for me and others), but Im not telling! They just do it, which is weird out here cause I cant get anyone to friggin' look funny at a cat unless its failing. Roads in FL are much better than out west in general. Within cities they can get rough (like I4 in d-town Orlando), but like I said in general it should be less of a problem for your front end. In the mean time Im going to try to steal your job. Who needs qualifications, right? I can build roof trusses, this cant be that hard

Some questions for you all...
1) What areas have a low crime rate that's reasonably close to West Palm Beach? (Let's say within a 1/2 hour w/ traffic)
Palm Beach Gardens & Jupiter are GREAT for lifestyle & schools, but traffic is a [censored] in the mornings going south to West Palm. Royal Palm Beach is OK, but I'm not really that familliar with it. The whole town is relatively new. Same with Wellington, new town but more upscale, school bussing program is a nightmare for the high schoolers in that area... YUCK.
My brother just scored a very nice place in West Palm for about $1000/mo, but the schools may not be what you're lookin' for, I'll have to research that. It's off Village Boulevard where there is a huge selection of nice neighborhoods. Well policed, many gated communities. I'll get you a number if you want it.

2) I'm going to rent/lease until I get a feel for the area. Are there any good sites that list condos, town houses, houses and non-complex type apartments?
PM me with your mailing addy & I'll send you an appartment guide. You can thumb through it to get an idea of what is available. I can also guide you on the schools & give you a heads up on the more stable areas. I'll even dog-ear a few pages for ya. Once you narrow it down, I'll snap a few shots of the neighborhood/complex & e-mail them to you.

3) How are the streets? Salt Lake City and the surrounding cities have tons of deep dips, pot holes, driveways, etc that make having a molded mirko a nightmare.
Also, how are the emissions testing?
As stated, no testing. In Palm Beach County, you will find the streets to be wonderful compared to where you are now. Downtown and older areas can be a bit patchy, but nothing like pot holes everwhere. The vast majority of the surface streets have recently been built, undergone widening & re-construction, or been resurfaced - including downtown West Palm Beach. Great roads, but you have to watch for the occasional drive entry if you have a mirko.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

I moved here from northern Maine. If I could, I'd live here till I die. Freakin' beautiful place to live. Lotsa stuff to do if you have an open mind & a little imagination. Opportunities GALORE to make a living.
The one big drawback, it's gotten very expensive to live here.

That's what happened to me when I came here in 2004. In LA, if the folks wanted to go for an outing at 10 PM, heck, we'd go to Sunset, or Santa Monica, or Hollywood Walk of Fame or something. Out here, EVERYTHING DIES AFTER THE SUN DISAPPEARS!!! The only places that are open after the sun goes down are the strip clubs (there are more than you'd think).
It has gotten VERY expensive here. It has been before as well. A head of lettuce costs $3. I could get 5 for that price in LA. And oranges cost an arm and a leg, and you'd think they'd be cheap in a state that grows them left and right. If I wanted to see high prices, I could have stayed in LA and look at real estate (which is actually beginning a downward trend as of January, check out Zillow.com). But to come here, have hurricanes knocking on my door every summer, be constantly threatened to have our home insurance DROPPED because of the number of hurricanes (even from Citizen's), and to pay for repetitive repairs, I find living here as putting a house over a money hole.
Besides, I miss mountains meeting the sea. As well as temperate weather.
Is my car for sale? PM me if you're in South FL.
