There is another way to register their van and still live in California--they would have to "move" to a rural area in California that does not require the biannual smog (yet). My brother lives in Weed, CA, and the only time he has to smog a car is when he buys a new (to him) car and registers it for the first time. When I had problems getting my '88 Golf to pass smog, the easiest/fastest thing for me was to register it at his address. No smog, and it gave me 2 more years to fix the problem. If they can do this, it will give Tiico a couple of years to get a CARB exemption. Legal (ethical?)
