speaking of that... When do they usually require you to do smog.. Bought my car in Oct of 05' and I've never smogged it yet.. Was it 6 years from the time you bought it??

The California DMV will mail you a registration renewal notice telling you whether you are required to get your vehicle smogged; it will also tell you if your vehicle requires a smog check at a test-only station. Exceptions include:
* Vehicles made in 1975 or prior
* Diesel-powered vehicles
* Electric vehicles
* Natural gas powered vehicles weighing more than 14,000 pounds
* Hybrids
* Motorcycles
* Trailers
Also, if your vehicle is six or less model years old, you are not required to obtain smog certification as long as you pay the annual $24 smog abatement fee.
