They did that here at first.  Whenever a vehicle was sold as used, it had to 
be retro-fitted to pass the current smog certs.  My 1970 Firebird had a 
do-dad on it to shut off the vacuum advance and the ignition was retarded to 
0ø crankshaft.  I removed it and went to a smog station.  The guy told me he 
couldn't test it, since it wasn't retro-fitted with that gadget.  I told him 
I was the original owner, then he agreed to test it.
 #AB#>> -Other than commercial vehicles liscenced in their home state and
 #AB#>> here, how could they possibly enforce smog checks for vehicles
 #AB#>> not even registered here!?

 DG> I don't think that they could, save for roadside "spot" checks.
Infra Red sniffer...coming to a roadside near you.  Already used here.
 DG> I think I'm about ready to move off-planet.
Well, there's no smog on the moon...yet.
... He who matters, won't mind. He who minds, won't matter!
