....and still got a notice on my registration renewal to get a smog check!

Luckily I kept a phone number for some helpful folks at the Sacramento DMV. I called them yesterday and they confirmed that I should not have received a smog check notification. According to the person I talked to, the BAR referee (El Camino CC) should have made some sort of computer entry to the effect I was permanently exempt from smog checks, but for some reason did not....now the kindly DMV folks are going to discuss the issue with their management to determine how this gets properly sorted out.

So, a friendly heads up to others who may have had their BAR checks done at El Camino CC......

SPCN/SB100 registration in California--the gift that keeps on giving (like a recurrent migraine).
