Yep, and that is doing stupid if you live in Pima or Maricopa county. The rest of the State does not have smog requirements. I have lived in Kingman since 1993 and never had to get my vehicle tested. I don't believe they even check if you don't blow a code but I am no expert on that part of title 28. Also if I am not mistaken modern cars are only test every 5 years so it should be easy (still a pain) to change things out come testing time.

California has some counties that don't have smog laws either, but then again most properties in those counties also don't have public utilities and are essentially off the grid.

I'm not sure about the modern cars law. I remember a dealer course I took (2011/2012) stated new vehicles are exempt for the first three years and you pay a smog abatement fee instead. Sounds like they must have changed this because I was wondering why I didn't have to smog and its my 4th year since purchase on my Nismo.

It more than likely changed when they started allowing vehicles to be registered for five consecutive years. I registered my 2002 diesel truck truck for five years and I think it cost me $150. I can't remember how many years I have my Nismo registered for lol.

WHAT?! five consecutive years?... I don't think California has that option...

So wait are you in Arizona, or Southern California (I was snooping

in the so cal pages and saw you posting there or you just kinda participate everywhere on the forum?).

I play every where on the forum. I live in AZ and used to live in SoCal. My brother and my mom live in Socal so I am familiar with Cali laws. Also spent 20 plus years in law enforcement in AZ and even though it was in fish and wildlife we had to well versed in all areas of law so being next to California, we worked with them closely. And know California doesn't do five years at time because they might want raise rates or change something lol!
