If they do change your state over to doing emissions your car may be old enough that you can get exempt from the emissions test, or maybe they will have a Grandfather clause exempting your car.....Hopefully......WW

Hopefully you're correct about the C4. Although, the 07 has also been modded with headers. I did opt for the HiFlo cats but I'm not sure how much good that would do if they decided to get silly with it. Oh well I guess I will enjoy it while it lasts.

VERY comfy digs, Jon! House arrest would be a pleasure there!

I see a 2-car garage, where do you park all the rest of your herd?

Can we even take the plastic off of the pool table if we promise to keep Friz outside?

Not much of a herd left. The C5 is at a dealership with a customer of mine who's showing it to a customer of his and the C3 is in a relatives whse/shop in pieces. The Charger and the Tuscon will go in the garage until I find a C4 or move the 81 back to the house. The 81 may be a problem with the HOA because we don't allow inoperable vehicles to be stored in the HOA area which is why it's not here already. The C5 may be gone as early as tomorrow.

What's all that green stuff in the front yard, and what did you do with the rocks?

We'd kill here for a lawn that looked like that. I had it one year.....EPWU sent me a nastygram regarding my water usage and threatened to fine me. We had it all rocked in shortly after. No water, no mowing, no bullshit whatsoever. One pine tree in the front and one giant Spanish Dagger next to it. That's the sum total of what's growing. I water the pine, nature waters the dagger twice a year and it's happy. BTW....it poked me in the ass once when I was painting the house and drew blood. VERY hostile plant. I'll get pics of it soon.

I had that landscaping when I lived in Phoenix. I was assaulted by a plant or two there as well.

Thanks all for the compliments, but I'm shocked how under control you've been. I know you all noticed the rockers on the porch but no one said anything. The Mighty Taurus thanks you for that.

I figured one tornado a day my way is enough. Any more, and poor Bill would never leave his storm cellar.

Well, that and my slow dial up just now let me see the pic.
