My brother kept all his cars registered in Arizona when he lived on base in California. He had a crazy Banks Powerstoke F-250 and such. That way he didn't have to worry about all that stuff.

Glad it all worked out.

Military personnel do not have to register their vehicles in the state they are stationed in. Everybody else would get pestered by law enforcement.

Ford F250 Powerstrokes are diesel, diesel powered vehicles currently do not have to be smogged.
