Moving to Lackland.... So it looks like the Airforce is sending us to Lackland AFB in San Antonio. I know nothing of the area nor what the car scene is like. What should I expect?
What kind of emmision laws, tint laws, registration, inspection, family entertainment, crime, am I getting into?

damn lucky *** ****!!! wish i was still there. the car scene is pretty good out there. definitely a bunch of fbodies and stuff out there.
EXCUSE ME? Thanks for the update!
The area that is around Lackland is pretty ghetto, I wouldn't recommend living close by. My dad was stationed there about 10-15 yrs ago. But we lived a good 30-45min from the base.

Well we are getting ready to have our house packed up on Friday, shipped out on Monday, and will be driving there on Wed. Man did time ever fly. 
I really don't know where we will be living just yet. We want base housing but the people aren't being very cooperative over the phone so we'll see when we get there. If that doesn't work we may be looking to rent a place for a year or so. Does any one have any suggestions as to where to look or maybe even know of a nice place WITH A GARAGE to rent?

Crime is all over the place.
family entertainment is the same as Biloxi but instead of 1 mall, you have more than one. SeaWorld, Fiesta Texas and the German Wet road park.
Instead of brown sea water, you now have brown fresh water....

Lackland isn't the nicest part of town but you're only 20 minutes away from Six Flags Fiesta Texas, La Cantera/The Rim, and about an hour south of the largest waterpark in the U.S. as well as a very popular river that people drive from all around to float for 2-3 hours. The car scene has always been better on base it seems, SA isn't near as big as Houston or DFW for fast cars.
We just moved to SA from Maxwell AFB, AL, but we work on Randolph which is the better part of town. We found our rental home with a garage on www.ahrn.com BUT Texas does not know what a double car garage is...this one can only fit one car! We have 2 F-bodies so it sucks we can't use it as a double car which is what it's suppose to be. So go look at the garage first we didn't get a chance b/c the moving truck got here before we did and we had to find a place quick! Moved out of our house on Thursday moving truck met up with us on Monday to move us in. Fastest I have moved ever!
There is a huge car scene here, more then Biloxi or Montgomery had to offer.
Dunno about emissions here but I know there is no state tax on your LES so switch it to Texas. Tags here depend on the kind of car you drive.
Took us a while to get here from AL, I'm sure MS will be a little shorter for you but not by much, and don't peg your car out going over the bridges in LA...the cops sit out there too trust me I know. ;-)

Thanks for all the info guys. I will be packing up the computer tonight so I won't be able to post until we get there and find a computer to use on base while we go house hunting. See you soon. Alex.
