Thanks, I'll be in Texas soon enough haha.

Only for basic training though, I'll hopefully end up in Florida afterwards

My head started hurting when I started working on my homework at my GED class.

Brain stretch.

Depends.
For basic, it has to stay in Omaha obviously, but after-wards, I'm taking it with where ever I go.
Unless where I end up, they have the smog tests and what not... my truck would fail epicly.

Which, in that case, I'd leave it in Omaha, Buy myself a nice 05-08 F150, and repair the 85 when I visit Omaha

When you live in the military you can leave your auto registered where you are from. You should not have to worry about where you are stationed if in the U.S.

When you get on base, check the number of out of state autos. Your military I.D. will show any LEO that you are on base and reside in another state.

In Limestone county I don't think they're too strict. I know the inspection place here isn't tight at all. My truck's ran rich for the past 5 or 6 years and they've not said a word about it. Heck, it even shakes when they stop (front end needs work) and they didn't say a word.

Just stay away from Austin or someplace like that. I'm sure Grant knows what I'm talking about. :P
