Re: FL or AL or TN: Emissions requiremets for 1990 and 91 Zs?
Paul,
Steve's earlier reply about GA emissions is spot on. Atlanta metro area of 16 counties have required emissions, but GA emissions are only required for the last 25 model years, so if my math is right, all C4Z's should be OK anywhere in GA. Georgia is tax friendly to retirees unless you have a boatload of retirement income. We retired in '04 and haven't paid any GA income tax since. You will want to carefully read the GA regulations for bringing (i.e. titling) vehicles into the state. The law changed a few years ago and I don't know the specifics but you might want to check what the tax impact will be for your vehicles and any other items of tangible value. I believe it used to be quite reasonable but that may no longer be the case ... just a head's up. You mentioned Huntsville - that's a very nice area -- also, much of the southern and/or eastern part of TN. I'm a bit prejudiced but I recommend you take a close look at any of the rural areas in the GA mountains ... if all your wish boxes are checked, you would be hard pressed to find a better place to relocate. And you can run the mountain roads almost year round. I've run the dragon in February with the snow falling - not the best of ideas, especially with summer tires, but it can be done. G- |

Maybe I should make plans to retire in that area and open a ZR-1 BBQ shack serving hummus on the side

Re: FL or AL or TN: Emissions requiremets for 1990 and 91 Zs?
My parents are in north Georgia (little town called Tunnel Hill). The have a really nice place on the top of a hill with a great view, 2 acres, about 2,500SF house with 2 car garage, and a detached 2 car garage (real brick like house, not a "shop"), which Zillow places at ~$270K value. They pay about $800/year in property tax and nothing in state income tax (no state income on Social Security or retirement income below $65K per person). Nice small town atmosphere, but only 25 minutes from Chattanooga and 2.5 hours from Tail of the Dragon. All this really to give an example of what you can get in north GA. The area and people are very nice, and it's really beautiful there. My plan is to move out there (from Dallas) in probably 5 years or so when I'm a little closer to retirement.
