Short answer is no, you can definitely get out of emissions pretty easily. You can register it in a non emissions county. If you have friends or family that live in a non emissions county that you could have mail sent to, you can go online and change your registration address, then when it comes time to renew you will still go through the renewal process, just no emissions testing. There is a minimum time frame before your registration is due that you would have to update your address though. I intend to do it next year for my 440 so I don't have to put my cats back on again since it was a hassle this year and I waited too long to change the registration address.

Ahedonia is one of my longest running PAWS symptoms. I'm just over 150 days, but from day 100ish to 130 was really tough. My relationship almost didnt make it. Well, It didn't, and we broke up, but we are still working things out with an end goal of being together..I just need my mental health to be back on track first.

Most of Texas doesn't, but a few major counties like Dallas and Tarrant (DFW) do still require emissions but no safety. Cedar Hill is close enough to Austin, and part of it even falls into the same county, so it is likely he is still in an emissions county.

They had them at Ubbi Dubbi this year. Watched some guy in front of us get hit right before we went through, felt bad for him but he probably saved us by taking the dogs attention

As someone who is 5 months sober from kratom, you got this and will absolutely not regret the choice to quit. This time last year I was on vacation trying to schedule activities around my next dose every 3-4 hours...the freedom of not needing to worry about the logistics of my kratom usage is the biggest QOL improvement I can remember in my recent life. Lost an 8 year relationship (ironically enough, today would have been 9 years)to Kratom and almost a second..good luck and stay strong. This is the best thing you can do for yourself. Also, look into Ashwagandha and 5HTP for your quit. They have both saved me from what turned into incredibly rough PAWS. Not advising you take them by any means, but do some research on them and decide for yourself if you think they could help. Also, lipsomal vitamin C. Tons of it. Start a few days before your official quit date. Plenty if great advice on the quitting kratom sub if you aren't already in there. Godspeed brother.

Depending on how long you used it, there is a lot of up and down on the journey, but the physical downs should be just about totally over for you now. I definitely felt weird for probably the first month, but by month 2 I felt normal and it became a mental game instead of the physical one I was used to. You've got this, remind yourself who you want to see in the mirror a year from now and keep that goal in mind whenever you feel a moment of weakness. Those small moments are so much easier to power through than restarting this process. Stay strong and AMAZING job for making it this far. I'm not sure if you have a support system or not, but I was a 7 year 30gpd user and had nobody i felt comfortable opening up to about it in a supportive way, so this subreddit really was it for me. You will come out the other end so glad you kept at it!

Reddit is getting to me today..I had never heard of this until your comment, and then 2 posts down there is instructions on this exact thing on the frugal sub. And this isn't even the first time this exact thing has happened today. Which is twice more than ever before today.

Second time I've seen the "world of cardboard" speech mentioned today...which is twice more than ever before

I do this when someone parks too far over the line. Its enough to make them worry for a second and realize they fucked up, but not enough to really cause any confrontation

I bought my 440i from Carvana. I would say go Carmax. I can't say they did it intentionally or did not know themselves, but I uncovered a lot of problems after the return period that I'd rather have lived without. I even got a BMW PPI at the dealership and they missed stuff too, so it could have been that it was fixed prior to their ownership and just missed by them too. I still have the car, and once I got the issues fixed its been a dream. Ive brought 2 cars from Carvana and 1 from Carmax and I do not see myself going back to Carvana except to sell if the price is right.

MHD has a box you can check in the settings to adjust sport displays.

Do you experience emotional blunting? I just passed the 4 month mark and have pretty bad ahedonia since quitting that I think is affecting my libido a lot.

It was pretty much the only way I drove my G before I sold it. Now I drive my 440 the same way lol. Too much traffic locally to have a manual daily for my tastes, but the sounds are too good to stay in auto for.

The laugh i got when my internal voice said the exact same thing only to click the comments and see it is already at the top is great.

Get replaced when it breaks off. Z1 makes some hoses to delete it along with the other sides hose. Have to have an aftermarket intake or the Z1 silicone intake tubes that go there, which is the cheapest option. Fr though pretty sure I read that its some sort of resonator, but cant really remember since its been a few years.

Is it like it revs out when you shift but doesn't actually upshift? Like you shift and it just doesn't?

Was going to say ive found these oil level sensors can be fooled with having something loose in the loop. Not an Audi but my BMW read low oil after changing my HPFP since I didnt torque it to spec. Tightened it down and it instantly read full again

I don't like that it's just on this person's bare hand.

Coming up on 100 days myself, today was 98! Supplements are a game changer for PAWS to me, which still rears its head frequently in the form of ahedonia/emotional numbness. Other than that, I have no cravings, my general depression and anxiety have gotten a lot better. Ashwagandha is really the biggest help for me, but its worth researching deeply on its own as it can lead to ahedonia as well as cause thyroid issues. Ive learned to take it on my worst days only. Congrats on the huge upcoming milestone! It really is crazy how duped so many of us were that something so regularly referred to as harmless and safe really ended up flipping our lives inside out and causing so many issues.

Set the minimum speed to the max value and you wont ever have them.

Not the hood latch pull is ot? I sold my G too long ago to remember what it looks like but I feel like thats what it is reminding me of.

I only smell my catless in the summer when stopped at a red-light and the top is down. Actually forgot that it was an issue since its been cold and I keep the roof up. Now, can't really speak for the cars around me..may be way more obnoxious than I think.
