Smog Free Countys

[einstein57]

I know some locals can charge $15 a month.

A small box at the post office is like $50 a year last time I checked. Don't know about the UPS store. I'm willing to share one.

don't think i checked usps. i checked a couple of the local ones around me though.

where do you send mail to then? they give you an address. have you never had a po box before?



po boxes aren't that cheap either. best thing to do is put a couple of people on one and pay for the whole year up front. it's the cheapest way.

I think the UPS store idea is better than an address that has a PO Box attached to it. Seems like it would be easier to pay a little extra every two years to get the car smogged from a friend of a friend, if you know what I mean

The problem is the new star program. I think it's pretty much making what used to be gold stations mandatory for old and high poluting cars.

I'm wondering if you know what a PO BOX is.

Also I already gave advice above about a PO BOX through UPS Store.

Yes, a box at a post office which mail is received instead of your home address.

I guess I just can't get my logic out clear to you guys. I guess I am just wondering how you register a car to a po box?

But I hope someone tries your idea. Cause if so, there would never ever be a problem turboing a car in CA. Then you could all prove me wrong also.

^It all depends on how much that costs. I've also heard that pay to pass is gettin more expensive, like $350-500. I'm sure you can slip someone (a normal smog place) a couple 20's to not notice the turbo in your bay as long as it passes the sniffer, but if you have no cats the latter isn't happening.

So:
-Get a PO box in mariposa county
-Record address (will it be like "PO box 1234, Mariposa CA..."?)
-Set it up to forward all mail to your home address
-Go to DMV (your local DMV or one in that county?)
-Change address to that PO box
-Smog your car at this time?
-Never smog it again

Sound about right?

For me here is how it worked.

My parents own a house in lake county. This house did not have a mailing address so we got a po box, and a mail box for the house. Now we were able to register my car there.

What I am saying is that, how is only getting a po box going to allow someone to register their car in that county? Don't you have to have the car registered to an certain address?

What I get from you guys OS that once you get a po box then you get an address. Where does this address come from? This whole thing sounds too easy and unrealistic to me. I would be able to go to another state and get a po box, get an address and register my car there. If it is this easy, more people would be doing it by now. Yeah?

In the end, Idk if it works like that. Please feel free you correct me, because I really don't get what you guys are saying.

How do you get an address if you don't have any residence there?

[efficient]

in for someone doiing this.how much is it for a po box?

[MR 325]

You get the address first... Seems pretty self explanatory to me.

Get a PO box at a UPS Store. They give you a real street address to use.

[mbonanni]

I feel like just having only a po box wont work...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you have to have an established settlement in the county to register a car in that place.

How can you change your address to a diff county, when you don't even have an address there?

[Vivek]

So is changing your address to a different county the same as a title transfer? So we go to the DMV and register our car in our name to that address, and then follow their instructions from there?
