What's an FED state

Yup, as first shown on 8-13.

Still don't think it prohibits someone to buy out of state and register one in a "forbidden" state. Except it'd be much harder to do in California.

I always buy out of state anyway and just about anything can be registered here. It's the people that only consider buying locally that'll have to change their thinking. Or buy something else.

Like Colorado, it's didn't suck when we moved here 35years ago.

Aside from outrageous taxes.....WNY has always been a great place to live...

What's an FED state

States that only require vehicles comply with the Fed/EPA standards i.e. the non-CARB, non-kneepad, non-commie states !

With those winters? Sounds like Minnesota to me! Which is where I'm from so don't get me wrong, but this southwest hits different in a good way IMO!

So you had to get used to that snow can fall vertically instead of horizontally when you moved?

Hey it's all the directions up there and it piles up like a mofo!

So...just checked in with my local dealer, they believe NM is a CARB state and so that may mean we cannot order these at that price...at least locally anyway. @Jimmy N. I may need your contact for that dealer up in Utah or Idaho?

Funny they were like wow where did you get that info? And they were surprised prices were listed that low, and I'm like yeah do you know who Tim K is??? lol But I do like my local dealer so I only kid them in good humor.

One maybe 2....sometimes none snow storms a year...rarely much below zero...not as bad as it's made out to be...

It's in southern Utah, 450 miles away for me. I'll get you the contact info later today.

Keep in mind that I recently registered my Daihatsu HiJet, and after that my "RePete". The Pete is now insured and registered as an RV, no wonder I like it here.

I love it when big lake-effect snow events hit right before Bills home games!

I'm not sure how many sales are lost by not offering these in CARB states, but manufacturers should have done this a long time ago. Let the folks that chose to live in those states deal with it and not impact the rest of us.

ChatGpt's explanation of current status of CARB is a bit confusing. It sounds like some of it has been blocked by EO but some of it still remains, and of course Newsom is challenging it in court and adjusting CARB rules to get around the EO. Freaking mess.

What's an FED state

“When referring to vehicle emissions, a "FED state" is a state that follows the less stringent federal emissions standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), rather than the stricter standards adopted by California.”
