I already know id love the weather, which is good if you love to drive or work on your car, i dont mind the heat, but i hate the cold. and our heat up here is miserable, extremely humid. as far as being cold, we could get snow anywhere from early november to middle of march in a normal year. and my kerosene heater wont help at all from middle of december to begining of february. i really hate the cold

what im curious about is the emissions laws and how tough cops are on car mods and so forth. i dont mean speeding or the such, i expect to get caught if doing that already. i am always a careful driver and always obey street laws inside city limits and highways, and obey them about 88% percent of the time out on country roads. just curious as to what exactly i am and am not allowed to do to my cars and still be able to drive them on the streets. around here the only thing i need to do is pass a simple emissions test. overly dark windows are a problem to some cops but thats about all youll get pulled over for.

No emissions here in Florida so that's one good thing. Depending on where you are and what you're doing, cops have been known to pull ppl over for aftermarket exhausts and such. Usually here in Tampa it's on Saturday nights where the cops know there is street racing. For the most part they leave you alone.

I can't really confirm how bad it is in Orlando since I don't live there but I've never had a problem the times I have been there. In certain areas around here they can be tough regarding tint.

Overall cops may be a little less tolerant than where you're from but it's not THAT bad.
