Does a direct import car from Japan from 2000 need to meet federal safety standards before it can be registered in California?
I thought the federal safety standard requirement was exempt for 25+ year old cars.
Assume all other requirements are met (particularly smog compliance, ugh...)
If you must know the car, let's just say it's a 2000 Lancer Evolution.
