that's what I do with my FD when i have to tow her anywhere.

Unfortuneately, yes. Hence the sawz'all comment. I'll do whatever I have to... if it means i'll have to build a platform to get it off of the trailer. Done.

I think I'll have a good time with it... though I'm sure it isn't California legal. Florida has no emissions testing... or even safety inspections, so putting the standalone in wasn't an issue at all. All emissions stuff (and I mean all) is gone. A/C, power steering, and even the heater are also gone. The car never sees rain, and the top rarely goes up

The thing I need to do some research on is the whole antique or classic registration in Texas, which is where I plan to have it registered when my FL registration expires.

The thing that got me was that DOD caved to California and required smog checking to get a base sticker, even if registered out of state. Ended up having to sell my truck back home, as it had a non-approved engine swap. I've heard they're going away from base stickers, so maybe this won't be an issue. Although I'm sure the Smog Nazis will be trying to come up with some other way to enforce their will on others.

Lame... luckily this car gets driven about 1 or 2 days every couple weeks. I'm not worried about getting on the base as much as I am about just figuring out how to register it.

I know in some states if a car is more then 20 years old it doesn't have to be smogged. Plus if you get re-stationed with the military cant you somehow keep you roroginal states registration?

Man, we got this!! You have friends in Florida; have your cell phone bill address changed to one of our addresses, then just order your registration online. As long as you receive a bill in state you should be good

Looks like Steve is trying to get him a nice turbo vert.

A title company that I bugged on Thursday evening told me that I should just change my address at the registration place... then it would be a piece of cake to get them in CA. I'm gonna try that, and if it doesn't work, I'll let you know Steve. Thanks for the offer!
