Does your OUT OF STATE vehicle (car, mc, truck) have a 49 or 50-state sticker?
There is some disagreement on the Android/Apple newsgroups related to the proposed 5-year retroactive California texting tax where someone brought up the fact that they "thought" you could register a *new* out of state car in California, that you bought with fewer than 7,500 miles on the odometer.
According to this reference, you can NEVER register it in California (if they _know_ you bought it with fewer than 7,500 miles, that is):
Everything boils down to what the *sticker* says. If the sticker does not have (literally) the word California, then it's a goner. You can _never_ register it in California.
The sticker is all they care about (it can pass emissions, and it will, but that's not what they care about).
Since I only have California vehicles, I want to ask others out there.
Does YOUR non-California vehicle literally have the word "California" in the emissions label?
