They are moving my whole gunship unit to Cannon AFB next year so curious if there any kind of mustang scene out there or around Clovis.

I'd like to do the same if I ever move back... I still have family in Albuquerque. You shouldn't have any trouble with emissions down there.

Are you at Hurlburt Field? I was at Eglin when I was AD... Lived in Destin.

So no vehicle inspections in NM then? yeah I'm at Hurlburt Field. I live in Navarre. Hating the love bugs that are caking the front of my car every day.

Not in most counties. I know Bernalillo County does (this is where Albquerque is), and I would bet Santa Fe county does too... Other than those I don't think you will have a problem. My brother and I maintain a PO box in Torrance County and that's where we register our cars- my Mustangs and his Porsches. You should have not a problem especially because you are AD. The cops out there are used to pickups with glasspacks and bald tires anyhow, so a Mustang with a loud exhaust and DRs shouldn't cause too much concern.

I'm down in Las Cruces. Be ready for the culture shock of your life. There is nothing in Clovis but cows, flat land and crappy weather. Bright side is Roswell is 100 miles where HP is located and a nice track. Been a while since I have been there so that could have changed by now, don't know. I believe Clovis is about 4,200' or so in elevation so the car will feel a little slower than you're used to.

But other than that, welcome to NM! :D

That would just about sum up half of the state. Kind of depressing in a lot of ways, but every place has its strengths and weaknesses I guess. At least you can mod your car w/o regard for legality.

I spent 2 weeks at Cannon once for an exercise. The only green I remember seeing was on what they called a golf course.

Where is Las Cruces??? Yeah alot of the guys and I just planned to take lots of road trips to Dallas/Vegas/Pheonix during our 3 and 4 day weekends. Def not ready for a culture shock, cuz I live in the Florida panhandle where it's a party area out here, but there is just 1 highway that's parallel to the water so traffic really sux, with I-10 like 30 miles north of here. But I haven't got cut any orders yet, but sure once I re-enlist I will.

I'm 20 miles from clovis, no mustang action going on here at all, a couple of buddies of mine are in the air force with cannon, they both had 03's, one just got outta the air force not too long ago and moved to california and the other is being stationed in georgia next month. I'll be the only one with the 04 cobra in the area. And I won't even have it cuz its down for MAJOR work. We'll have to catch up sometime when you get stationed here.
