why would anyone want to live in CA ?
*I live two hours from the beach *I live only slightly farther from LA, SF, the state capital, Yosemite *The weather *Race tracks *The weather *Race tracks I don't mind paying extra for all that. Dealing with law enforcement's B.S. sure is trying, though. Hell, I can't even import a 25yr old car like people in the other 49 states.

Not true anymore, or at least since AB 1824 went into effect. CHP has started pulling over cars with out of state plates if they sound too loud and they see them more than a few times. Even if you have an out of state license to match, they could choose to build a case against you to prove you're a resident based on how often they've come across you and extract that $$$ CA wants.

The Exodus from CA has been going on for years & is accelerating. Ask those that live in NV / AZ / OR / WA / ID / MT
The price of my home in CA, i could cash purchase a 3K sq ft home in a neighboring state & have much money left over

The food, the weather, the diversity, and the women. It's expensive and frustrating, don't get me wrong, but it's hard to leave once you've been raised here :lol:. You just have to have the right connections.

So......have any of you thought about "moving" to a city that doesn't require smog?
Couple people in the Evo FB groups are claiming they have done it...and they have gotten their tags without a smog.... z E R E p |

None of that outweighs the lack of freedom and reckless squandering of tax revenue. I'm already considering leaving Nevada if things don't turn around after the next eelction.

Please elaborate on this "moving" technique if possible. I'm interested. |

:lol: It's not perfect to say the least and a lot of people who live here are actually awful, but on a day to day basis I don't personally feel any lack of freedom against anything other than my car stuff. I really did hate the curfew that some of the cities set for minors though. That really, REALLY sucked.

My issue is passing visual, at any other time. If an LEO decided to look under my car, right now, and see no cat, I'm busted, no matter where my car is registered. The car still has to meet smog requirements. Or so I'm told.

All factory smog equipment must remain on the vehicle to be federally legal. So it must still have a cat but I dont think it says it must be an OEM cat. That meaning a 100 cell is still legal since its still a cat.

The people who are posting these in the groups are trying to charge people $200 to do it. What do they do that one can't? Not sure...just change your address on the DMV site and change your ins and viola? Need to look into it further z E R E p |
I dug up the convo my buddy had....
and she wants $350 not $200 https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.evo...038232db17.jpg |

Apparently there are certain ways to get the registration for your car (which is all we really care about) without following the smog every 2 years rule. They just approve your registration and hit the snooze button on the smog requirement for your car over and over. |

No doubt, cops or chp are both make mistakes or bend the interpretation of the law to hassle people. In the past when I've come up against situations like that I just rolled with it and didn't confront them and then immediately got any citation thrown out after. I'd probably be more likely to argue if it came down to impounding my car on false pretenses.

This is my solution for a cop getting on all 4's to see if i have a cat lol. Its a test pipe with a cat heatshield, its not fool proof but at a quick glance I would say it looks legit.
I can say not having the hassle of smog would be pretty nice. One less thing to worry about. Paying/dealing with smog on a car I drive 2-3k miles per year pisses me off a little. |
