I know that I could do a search, but I'm lazy today. Does a car have to be re-tested when the ownership is transferred? If I pick up that TII and decide to drive it I may register it in my GF's name here in CA instead of in NY.

Any time a car is sold or transfered it is required to be smogged unless it has been recently smogged in the last 60 or 90 days, I forget which. It's the seller's responsibility to smog the car.

I think the way the laws are though whatever car the state is registered in, you have to follow that state's inspection laws. So if you feel like driving from cali to NY every year or 2 for inspection.......
My plan right now is to get a few people together to buy just enough land in PA to put a mailbox post. Thisway we can reg. our cars there, have cheap insurance, ect.

Nah, I can just have somebody mail me a sticker. I could actually take the sticker off, and they probably wouldn't know the difference out here. I don't think they can write me a no inspection ticket.

This whole smog thing here is a real pain in the ***.
I thinking about getting a spare motor and keep it as a "smog" motor just to swap out when needed. I don't have so many mods now that I can't ready the car in a day for a test but one of my cars will be getting rebuilt soon and I don't want to build it back stock.
