Curious as I don't fully understand vehcile licencing here in US and we are about to move to CA.

Truck is registered in MO (where we bought it) and we extended the licence this year which expires in DEC.
Now we are moving to CA for 6-9 months. So a couple of questions
1) Do I need to bother with anything now as truck is licenced till DEC in MO.
2) If I stayed in CA beyond DEC - can I just renew my plates as MO plates.
3) Can I get fined for having a truck that smokes ??? Can it be worse than a fine or does that only happen at inspection time ??
I did read this here

"Does this Apply to Someone Moving to California?
If you are moving to California from another state, you may register a new 49-State vehicle if it was first registered by you in your home state, or for military personnel, in the last state of your military service. When applying for vehicle registration in California, you must provide evidence that the vehicle was registered."
-- but didn't make a lot of sense
thx guys
