Just a question about Georgia
How are the smog laws in Georgia? We are looking to relocate from California to a wonderful free state. Just want to make sure before I drop a new cam and longtubes in.

A 'free' state. 
Georgia is indeed great. I live just 30 minutes north of the state border. I'll let the GA boys comment on specifics but there isn't a darn thing here in NC unless you live in a large metro area like Charlotte where they do have some emissions testing. Everything 'rural' is just visual and making sure the horn, wipers, and lights work. All for a whopping $12 or so. I bet GA is similar.

This should be helpful:

I live in Bartow county which is adjacent to Cobb and Paulding, which both have emissions requirements however Bartow does not. I'm sure at some point Bartow will require it, but it's probably not in the near future as most of the county is still pretty rural.

I live in Winder which is just up the road from Bogart.....You will love the area....and the fact there are no emission laws there. Bogart is a small town within a short drive on anything you want to get to. Braselton (Road Atlanta) is about 20-30 minutes away...Commerce (Atlanta Dragway) is just up the road from that....

You'll enjoy it. Lots of a variety and some great roads throughout the state for driving. Nice change of seasons as well with fairly mild winters. The absolute worst part is the traffic around Atlanta, but depending where you're from in CA that's probably something you're used to.
As mentioned not all counties have smog check, but for those that do it's a rolling 25 year period. No safety inspections at least.
Good luck!
