In response to the title of this thread...

Don't they build Corvettes there?

Wonder what the Mustang scene would be like. Must be like the BMW/Mercedes scene in Jerusalem.

Corvette museum is there, too. I'm also pretty sure the University of KY has a campus there, so I would imagine there's tons of apartments around for rent.

Looks like you are in the clear.

While Kentucky did adopt a vehicle emissions testing program for three northern counties in 1999, the requirement ended in late 2005 with an emergency regulation signed by Governor Ernie Fletcher.

The governor cited improved quality of air and the potential to use other methods of reducing air pollutants as the reason for the program's end.

Q: How do you spot a real car guy?

A: When thinking about moving to another state, the deciding factor is the emission laws.

Yea **** that.

Car laws + gun laws = Not coonass friendly.

My buddy in the marines lives in Cali and he was telling me about how hes gonna get a V6 mustang and drop a carbed 351 in it. I was like cool.

Then I was like. Wait you live in Cali, you cant do that. First off it would never pass emissions. Secondly I dont think you are allowed to put a motor in a car if the motor is older than the car.

Needless to say, hes moving back to LA when he is done.

So true...I had thoughts of moving to PA, but I am not too keen on the whole emissions testing BS. I like having a fume spewing environment killer to cruise around in on the weekends that is inspected and "somewhat" legal

University of Kentucky DOES NOT have a campus there. There is a university, Western Kentucky University. So yes, there are many rentals. Good area to live. Close to many, many things, lakes, caves, etc. and lots of shopping. Short drive to Nashville, Tenn. and Louisville, Ky. And they do wear shoes.

I live about an hour south of BG down in Clarksville, TN/Ft. Campbell, KY area. I've gone up to BG quite a bit for things like the Vette plant and museum and of course Beech Bend. It's one of the best tracks I've been to.
