Depending on where abouts your moving emissions may not be necessary. I live in Gainesville which is about 60 miles North of ATL and I have no emissions.

And if you are moving up 75north, north of Atlanta depends where there is no emissions either. Welcome and post up what part of the town you are moving to.

I know that we meet up every once in a while at hooters off of pleasant hill exit in gwinnett? Just keep posted and usually someone posts dates, meeting spots, etc.

Welcome to Atlanta!! Never had a problem with emissions either...I'm in Cobb County. Depending on what county depends on how cops react when they hear a loud car and what time of night your cruising around. If your cruising through Cobb after midnight, expect to get pulled over if you ride by an officer. I've been pulled over several times but let go because I wasn't doing anything wrong. They were more or less checking for DUI. Still annoying though.

Alpharetta isn't bad. Emissions shouldn't be an issue as long as you don't have a check engine light on. That's really all they check for on OBD2 cars. As far as clubs, check out musclecar-evolution.com. Good group of guys there.
