ARGGGHHH. IDIOTS. You cant just import a smart. We americans would do it ourselves then. (Or do you think we are afraid of OSAMA?)
you need a general registration for a car before you can register it in your state. Means somebody has to spec a smart for california (e.g) go through tests and get approval. Once the first is approved you can import yourself. I do not know of a "First" registration in CA. Does anybody else?
