    If you are looking for computer companies to work for in Idaho, just consider Boise your region. You won't find much in that industry to the east, or to the north. Things will exist, but with Micron in Boise, everything is pretty well centered there.

    Think of Sun Valley as a resort area, everything is considerably more expensive, and you are in an area that is not conducive to commute either.

            it was beautiful, even with the little snow that was there, it's definitely more of a resort/retirement place.

              How is Ada county on engine swaps? Is there emissions or inspection or both? Any model year cutoff for emissions?

                straight from the dmv website: "Canyon County and the city of Kuna in Ada County are the only places in Idaho that require the registered vehicles of its residents to go through emissions testing."

                perhaps someone who lives there could chime in if i'm wrong.

                  On my E30 they place a sniffer in the exhaust pipe, the timing clamp on cylinder #1 and check the numbers of the exhaust. I am not sure the Pass/Fail #'s. The only inspection they do is to see if you have a CAT. Actually... last time I went in they didn't even look under the car. It is very relaxed compared to other states... Just as long as the %'s and PPPM's met goal, you are good.

                    There is no visual inspection in Ada. I believe OBD1 and older get a tail sniffer and OBD2 gets a plug into the system, a CEL will fail the test.

                      Just find a way to register in another county. It's not that hard.


                      Oh and.....

                          I didn't pull up the e-brake and walked into the store. I came out and it was resting on the back of a big truck. It rolled about 6 feet and hit the truck. My kidney, front bumper, hood, and grills need replaced.

                            Bad week for e30's in Boise. I managed to catch a rock with my driver's side control arm that was buried in the ground (mostly), lifted it out of the ground and into my gas tank. Of course I was on the other side of Spring Shores Marina up by Lucky Peak about 30 miles from the house. Got the old tank removed this afternoon.

                              If you drive your e30 on stairs, you're gonna have a bad time.

                                Did you come up with that all by yourself? You must be so clever.
