Speaking on safety and emissions: When I lived in Iceland, we had to have a safety inspection done to our vehicles. They would drive the vehicle up onto a table of sorts that would test the braking capability of the vehicle. It also allowed them to test the suspension, but I don't remember how that part worked (1995-1996). We also lived in SLC, Utah. Had to do diesel emissions inspections every year. That was a pain. Never had a problem with the 7.3L or the 6.0L even with tunes, but a lot of guys had to register there diesels in other counties to avoid it. I had forgotten to take the test pipe out of the 4" exhaust one time, so I got dinged on that. It was just a matter of putting the cat back in and retesting. Most of the cat's didn't purr... they roared (if you get the meaning).
If they try to implement safety and/or emissions in your area get involved to protest it with a passion. Make sure you also protest the politician that wants to promote it. What a waste of tax dollars.

Cool pics AK, I always enjoy them. Someday I'll make it up there.
OT a bit (errr a lot), my kid's car has a "check gas cap" message and it's throwing an evap system code. Thought I would be smart and swing by the bogus inspection station because they can pressure test the cap and give me a new one if it fails. No dice, they will only do that when it's due for inspection. (every 2 years) So as far as the EPA is concerned, I can drive it around with a bad cap for another year with no worries.
Congrats to you on no more inspections.
