My Wife, Daughter, and I are planning on moving to the Houston area next year. Most likely the Kingwood area...my folks just bought a house there and they love the area. With the insane home prices here in South Florida....plus the constant threat of hurricanes and a horrible school system...the move makes sense.
Anyway, I have two questions.
With the state inspections out there, what do you guys do? I know that when we had emissions testing here in Florida, we had to find ways around it. Usually it was $50 to the "sniffer guy" and we would pass. How do you do it out there? Is it hard to pass? My only problem would be emissions...everything else about my coupe is perfectly fine...but I KNOW it wouldn't pass emissions out here. I am trying to decide if I want to bring my car out there with me...or sell it here and start over when I get settled.
Also, anybody in the Ford business? I am wondering what the job market is out there for a good counterman. I am a back counterman...and very darn good at it...if I do say so myself. I would rather stay on the back counter for two reasons...one, I hate the public. Two, I work much better with techs. Any of you in the business know that it takes a "special" kind of person to be able to handle working side-by-side with technicians. Anyway, I am just wondering how the market is out there for a good Ford back-counterman.
