So most of you probably saw my other thread, I just moved here from FL for school and I will be here for two years. My FD is registered and insured in Florida and I am wondering if I have to get a cali drivers license, registration etc. I have tried looking for this answer online but everyone has crappy iffy answers. I just want something straight forward so I will give straight forward facts.

I am a student at PLNU, I won't have a job, and I will not be a resident in the state. Do I need to get a cali license, and if I bring my FD here will I have to register it or insure it here...

Any answers would be great! I am hoping to get the hunk of junk up here before seven stock

Oh and BTW the car is registered still under parents name w/ FL address, and my permanent address is FL

 

Yes, you can keep your current plates and registration since your only down here for school.

 

so not registering it here means no smogging?? because that is the main concern, see FL doesn't have emissions control so I don't even have cats

 

Correct. Though, it does not mean that your local PD won't hassle you. If your car has no cats, i'm guessing it is louder than hell which makes you a target of getting pulled over.

 

indeed under full throttle you can hear it literally a mile away BUT at regular cruising it's not so bad

 

Have any pics of your car? My car was super quiet under normal driving conditions, but loud under WOT as well. I say just keep it cool driving and you should have no problems.

 

You should be fine, keep and cherish your florida plates. I have them, and don't plan on giving kalifornia any of my money anytime soon.

 

yeah ,give me 2 seconds, image shack is being gay :P

 

Well simple, u should consider urself lucky to have the vehicle register in Florida. No smogging and etc. U don't need to register it in Cali. U don't need to insured it in Cali, since u don't own the car. But u should at least still have insurance on it. Technically u have to tell insurance that the car will be garaged in Cali, because different location can result a higher premium, and insurance will give u crap if u ever get into an accident. But there's always ways around it.

 

 

the wheels in your avatar, what are they?

 

You technically should but most agencies won't investigate it. It is a good reason to pull you over though and look for other things(DUI's, Warrants, Vehicle Code Violations). That's what I would do.

 

pics arent working

 

SSR Professor SP1s. The centers and lip are a custom gunmetal center than Rauh-welt did for their porsches but it's not a standard SSR Finish.

I can help you order a set if you want, i used to work for SSR.

 

what sizes do they come in and what do they cost? I have been looking for that style of wheel for a long time, I want them really bad and I have the money but I just don't have any income so there would be no replenishing the bank account after I bought a set and that's not a good thing hopefully I can find some way to make money while in school..

 

I sent you a PM

 

Im in this same boat i got a washington state car and moved down here a week ago for school . EXCEPT that i want in state residency to get in state tuition. can i too keep my wa state plates and registration? My county also did not have emissions.

 

I forgot what the limit was but after a a couple of weeks you will have to get your california drivers license

 

Since you are getting in state residency you have to get a Cali driver's license, registration, insurance and etc since you will be a legal resident of Cali. I don't because I am not becoming a resident, lucky for me though my school costs the same for in state and out-of-state students. What school are you going to?

 

The limit is 20 days to get your license, registration, insurance and etc...

 

btw here is a picture of my car for some reason image shack won't post them at this time but I should be shipping her up soon so I can take it to SS because I have always wanted to go to that.

 

dope ride man. What school you going to ? Im not sure which one, i want to stay local though. Probably a cali state school cuz its CHEEEEAAAPZ

 

I am going to Point Loma Nazarene University, it's got a great campus the whole thing is on the cliffs of SD but the tuition there is the same for in and out of state students

 

nice car, very clean.
