Re: A little education is needed

"Not at all. When I moved to California from the opposite coast and registered my car, they looked for a CARB sticker under the hood (it had one.) They said without a sticker, I couldn't register it in California, and that doesn't often happen."

It would have to be a fairly new car. They do that to keep people from buying much cheaper non-compliant cars elsewhere and bringing them to California. If the car is a year or more old or was purchased used, I'm pretty sure that denying registration would violate Federal interstate commerce laws.
