   My last California smog check was around 1999. It was that year that I   
   found out that certain areas of the back country were smog exempt and that   
   is where I registered all of my cars. I moved here in 2005, so I got away   
   with it for at least 5 years. I was glad I found that little gap in their   
   coverage, which was around the time they began to implement the dyno test.
