Yayyyy Jay Leno!!

You guys need to move to Chicago, my 85 with Antique plates needs no smog testing. You just need to learn to like the cold i winter :cool:
 
Naw, move to Virginia, antique plates gives no smog and no inspection. Admittedly it now gets cold here too in the winter.
 
WA state here. Registered as classic so no recurring fees, and emissions locations closed years ago, maybe because too few cars were failing.
 
I'm not movin'.... This is January 😁 Just sayin'...

TX has a 25-year rolling exemption. And as of Jan 1 this year, no vehicle inspections. Well, almost no vehicle inspections - if you live in one of 7 counties (mine is one of them) then you need to get emissions-inspected, which basically consists of verifying you have no Check Engine Light on. But even those 7 counties still have to honor the 25-year rolling exemption.

So my 81 F150, 92 F150, 87 X1/9 and 76 Scorpion are all well into the exemption zone. Go pay for your annual tags (about $75/vehicle) and you are done.
 
Idaho...
Recently voted away ALL smog inspections. It was correctly figured that the number of gross polluters and vintage cars throughout the state constituted a tiny number of vehicles on the public roads. And the $$$ to run the entire program was a bureaucratic money loser.

Huh, what do you know about that...common sense?
 
South Carolina...
No smog, no inspection, no nothing, no matter how new the car. Sales tax is 5% of the car's value with a max of $500. You do pay personal property tax, but if you buy and sell cars often, you don't get hammered with sales tax. When I lived in NY, sales tax was 8-1/4% with no limit. If I bought a $20k car, I'd pay $1,650. If I sold it a day later for the same price, the next owner would pay another $1,650. What a racket.
