Rural Ca. where I live isn't like that...
the whole state isn't the same
from someone that actually lives here & knows what's up
no inspection stickers BS, like elsewhere,
we don't even have to do smog after the initial purchase 1st time
depending on the weight,
whether you need fenders etc. (hot rods/jeeps etc.)
we do have some high registration rates/fees
sort of high insurance too
that does suck, all my cars are older now
02 is my newest, 99 then 77 then 68
my insurance isn't bad, but I don't do stupid **** either
good driver haven't had a claim for 30 years etc.
I have family that pay far more in Oregon, my oldest sister
& a younger Dr. brother in Nevada with far less coverage
& I have full coverage & they have base insurance
you can
now build one off specialty cars & register them
the past few years not have to jump thru hoops & barrels
without buying a old fraudulent pink/vin
(which is illegal by the way, still many builders did it)
but most of the state is, the Nanny State...
anywhere close to an Inner-Shitty, it's a damn totalitarian deal...
you have to know the laws where it is
'you chose to live'
in any state, especially if you're a car guy/gal
don't believe all the BS you read on the -www- or trolls/haters
lots of it is fake, completely false/wrong **** out there, even in that link
ill-informed/inaccurate
weather baby weather, we got pretty much everywhere else beat
