[DeTomaso] Moving to the Seattle area

[asajay at asajay.com]

If you move anywhere near me, and outside of Spokane (which does smog)  
you won't have to smog at all. :)

Otherwise, WA state is beginning to creep up on CA standards, albeit  
slowly.  The bigger the city, like Seattle and surrounding areas in  
King county, have what I would call "fair" emissions standards.

Spokane does for that matter too.  Not too long ago I put a 1967 AMC  
327 into s 1982 Jeep Wagoneer.  It passed the sniff test, so they let  
me go.  It helped that it had a plethora of hoses and plumbing under  
the hood that looked very stock.  The only part that looked out of  
place was the chrome air cleaner. :)

They didn't bat an eyelash.  But that was several years ago.

I have had to smog a car for going on four or five years now since I  
moved outside the zone.  I'm sure the guys on the coast will fill you  
in more.
