They still do.Cali used to have smog exemptions for people who lived in sparsely populated counties. Nevada did too.
It's funny you mention that. I was just talking about that with my step daughter. I was telling her that her Mom wants to move to San Diego. I'm like "F" that LMAO! I said Florida is better. My step daughter said she would rather go to Florida as well.This just gives me more of a reason to tell people to get out of that place if you’re an enthusiast. However on that same coin.. Florida is filling up quick. My ride to work used to take 15-20 minutes. It’s now taking 45-60.
2000 and newer cars just need to be plugged in and scanned for monitors. There's a 30 second rev test too. 1999 and older need the tail pipe sniffer.
When I was originally doing everything to my car I had it set up to pass all the monitors. Even when I went with the Whipple and return set up all the monitors would set. Obviously now I don't worry about it.Yep, that's how it's done in TX Bob. There's good and bad about that too. From my understanding a tuner can go in and change the settings on your monitors. So, this might help with the computer inspection process. Won't help with the pipe sniffer though.
However, if your car is stored and the battery dies and it is inspection time you will need to drive your car for a good distance in order for your monitors to reset. If you go for an inspection and your monitors come up "not ready" you will not pass (Don't ask me how I know LOL).
Can you provide extra details on this?For people in California.

If you have questions go to a cars and coffee anywhere in southern California. Ask the old rich guys why they have south Dakota / Montana plates.
They can track millions of vehicle smog checks, but can't keep track of illegals coming across the border.

Except CA legit has a nark hotline: Here’s how to report vehicles with out-of-state plates
Georgia isn't fan of it either, being it's a felony to defraud the state:
In other areas, sure, go for it, I would... just not in CA or GA
Florida's been full for decades, sushThis just gives me more of a reason to tell people to get out of that place if you’re an enthusiast. However on that same coin.. Florida is filling up quick. My ride to work used to take 15-20 minutes. It’s now taking 45-60.
Every state is different, and every owner is also different. If it's a Veyron or so that you drive twice a month to cars and coffee, you can likely get away with Montana plates in a lot of states. If you're a doctor with a new R8 and going to daily it... you're greatly increasing the odds of getting in serious trouble.I continuously tell people this but no one listens. CA’s narc hotline and if you get stopped and have a out of state plate with a cali license you are screwed. The program was updated and has been in place since 2018 I wanna say and it made me not want to risk it as it’s a fine that’s rather large. Even AZ has a law preventing out of state plates for vehicles with drivers who have AZ licenses; the ticket is like $800.

I've pondered making it a choice for the person. I'm pretty sure my car would pass a sniffer no problem. But then I'd had the scan done on all my other cars.
Been there done that. Not that I minded having to drive it to set the monitors.
**** them. Ga charges full sales tax on a used vehicle. It is not based on the price you paid for the vehicle, it is on the states book value of the vehicle. So if your parents sign over their $10k car to a kid and kid goes to register it, they are going to get a $700 bill at the dmv. Ga used to have an exemption for private sales, but they got rid of that too. It is double taxation by the state, which is illegal.Except CA legit has a nark hotline: Here’s how to report vehicles with out-of-state plates

It seems like the fine is based on the registration fee. Last time I looked the fine was like $100. Given what the registration cost and what my "smog" was going to cost, it was worth rolling the dice for me.I continuously tell people this but no one listens.

Because his palm print is attached to every single smog test, that vehicle’s vin #. If something ever comes up, they can go back and look at his history and the vehicles he smog tested for accountability and compliance.I must be too old, I don't get it :
.
" The regulations require, in part, Smog Check inspectors to use a biometric palm scanner instead of a password to log in and perform a Smog Check on the BAR On-Board Diagnostic Inspection System (BAR-OIS). "
.
So the smog jockey logs in using the palm scan, how does that force him to:
Do the test ?
Do the test correctly ??

This seems like a lot of ****ing effort for what is essentially a nothing burger in terms of air population. How about they start testing all the freight ships.
