Reply to "Any GT5-S owners in California?"

Julian, you are a cerebral guy to be sure. Good observation about it not making sense that all out of state vehicles entering California cannot get smogged and are referred to CARB or BAR. That would make it a nightmare for anyone living in Ca. to buy an out of state car. Yet out of state cars are bought here all the time.

As I understand it, when I go to the Ca. DMV, I will give them the NJ title and they will enter the VIN# into their system as is the usual practice for out of state cars that have never been in California. Next they will have a visual inspection of my car to physically check my VIN# on the car. Next they will send me to a smog shop. The part I am scared about is that because I don't have cats or any smog equip on the car I might have trouble at some point along the journey to register the car, not to mention the challenge of finding a "Cooperative" smog shop here.

But I have formulated another plan. I'll know soon if it will work.

Thanks,

David
