Car laws in utah and military?
anyone know how they deal with inspections?
Im supposed to be transfering there by the end of the year and im wondering what they do for the inspections
is OBD2 involved, or do they just strap the car down and check emmisions?
one of my supervisors says there is a few performance shops i the area that deal with that kind of stuff, but the most hes ever done with with his car was I,H,E, and he did not swap the ECU out
i have a 97 so it "had" the obd2 stuff
thanks

^Correct, but...
Some bases require when you PCS that you acquire base TAGS for that base or region.
Some bases (base CO or regional policy) require that no matter where the car is registered, you must have a local smog check.
Some base rules for smog checks do not require that you actually pass... just that you had the test done.
Some bases in the same are as others are more lenient than others about requiring you to submit the "proof of check" paperwork.
Call the base and ask. Base "Pass and Tag" phone numbers are usually located on the base website. Get a fresh TAG before you leave your current duty station so you're covered as long as possible.
As a member of the military, your state of permanent residence should be one with no "state income tax"... it's worth $100k+ over the course of your career. The reason most Naval Aviators are residents of Florida their whole career is because of that. We all roll through Pensacola for flight school and establish "permanent residency" by getting a drivers license and registering to vote and we never have to pay state income tax again. Florida also has no smog laws and registering a new car can be done almost comletely online... forever.
Texas, New Jersey, Nevada, and few others also have no State Income Tax.
