Here is a link that might help.

Thanks I'll check it out

There are only a few counties in Tennessee which required emissions testing. Nashville/Davidson county is one, and several of the surrounding counties. It's not required in most counties.

It matters only in what county you live. If you live in a county that doesn't require testing and you drive daily into one that does, no problem.

We had this same discussion in this forum just a few days ago.

Here are the places in Tennessee that require vehicle emissions testing on certain vehicles:
Davidson County
Hamilton County
Rutherford County
Sumner County
Williamson County
Wilson County
City of Memphis

Here's where you can find more detailed information:

Thanks! This is good information. It's just when you come from a state where the laws are the same all over it's a little confusing

... I'm from an area that is very accepting of things that are not accepted and maybe not tolerated where I'm thinking about going (and I'm not talking about devil worship ). I was just raised to believe it's not my place to judge.

... I was taught by a very christian grandmother that you do not have to go to church to believe in god. How will that be received? If I don't attend church will I be shunned?

I think you've done a nice job here of defending the "fitting in" question, northcountrygirl. You give a lot of detail that hopefully sheds light on the inoffensive reasoning some of us are going through when we ask this offensive question

As to your last remark, that seems a particularly hard one to get a specific comment about. There's been a response from a great poster in the Knoxville area, suggesting that churching at home is seen as a perfectly acceptable position. As for the more rural areas you're looking into, I could very well be wrong and just have missed it, but I haven't seen a specific answer to that specific question.

We live in a rural area and we have people moving here from cities of a neighboring state and all they want to do is change things here too! Their always complaining about the lack of services they used to have in the city. I have to wonder why they left the city. We just want a simplier life and it's getting crazy here. We're becoming a suburb of our neighboring city and we're starting to feel a bit cramped. I'm only worried because the last thing I want is to be one of those people. I just wanted to make sure we're going to be given a chance for people to get to know us

Northcountrygirl, you worry too much.

Thanks I didn't know if I was speaking for anybody else or not. Appreciate the support

Yeah! I was told once that if a position should open up for Master Worrier I should apply. It's a tough job but somebody has to do it.

Moderator cut: advertising not allowed I haved lived in Tn most of my life,except for a few years in FL. I don't think you will find a finer bunch of people anywhere in the world. I am proud of Tn as I/m sure you can tell, but I do live in a small town where I never lock my house and always leave my keys in my car and neighbors are always willing to lend a hand.

I think the worst "redneck" you would be afraid of would love to hear all about "New Hampshire, Ya'll git alot of snow there, huh?"
