So I went down to my local CHP office two weeks ago with an appointment with a nice officer, whom looked over my paper work from the DMV, checked the serial number stamped on the chassis frame (which matched the one stamped on a Porsche VIN ID plate) and signed off on the inspection – it took all of 15 minutes.
Last week I took the above CHP signed DMV form back to the DMV, this time it took about 45 minutes and the nice lady wrote a number on the form to take to the BAR station to get my smog exemption. I think I’m almost done with one more trip back to the DMV.
