I don't think my son can get conventional New York registration while living in Colorado. New York - as far as I know - requires residency along with proof - e.g. a driver's license, etc. Same goes for insurance. To register a vehicle in New York, you must have valid liability isurance based on residency IN New York. So, if living in Colorado - and trying to get insurance for a vehicle that is supposedly in New York - some fraud would be involved. He had enough trouble getting 30 day transit-tags since the New York DMV did NOT like the Colorado method of writing isurance documents.
When I was younger - in the middle 1970s - I had three driver's licenses, three "resident" hunting and trapping licenses, and all kinds of license plates. I was - to a degree - a New York, New Jersey, and a Vermont resident. It sometimes took some heavy-duty explaining when questioned about it. One time, I was pulled over by a trooper on the New York State Thruway with a deer tied to my roof, a New York deer-tag tied to its ear, a NJ driver's license, and Vermont license plates - boy what a mess - but I actually talked my way out of it. But now - with computer databases and state-to-state information sharing - I assume it's now pretty hard to do.
What IS very popular around here in New York is Maine license plates for trailers. So far, it's perfectly legal and cheap and easy, but New York is working on ways to stop it.
In regard to the emmisions testing - I think it's a good idea - along as it is actually a part of some sort of comprehensive plan to accomplish something good - and not just a money generator for a government. Many such proposals, however are not good long-range plans - especially when it comes to engergy conservation - but that's a different topic.
I'm not looking for a way for my son to "cheat the system", just looking for the simplest route to address the problem. Sometime later, he'd like to install a Banks turbo-kit - and that alone would probably fix the problem. But, at over $2000 kit-cost he's not ready to do it yet.
