ok. not to be a smartass,but you guys obviously have not done your homework on TN. first off,we have NO state income tax. my property taxes are cheap as hell. you only have car inspections around nashville,maybe a few other large suburbs. the weather is awsome! i an about 2 1/2 hrs from bristol and altlanta dragways. did i mention the weather? i am originally from northern ohio,done 13 years in S.C.,now here for 13 years. i love it here. S.C and N.C. tax you for taking a s$it! this state is very laid back which is good and bad. mostly good for car guys!
