I don't know of anyone that checks this stuff but there was a question on the form about when the vehicle was brought into CA. Lie! This isn't the best time for full disclosure.

I know about the 10-day, 20-day rule. There's technicality in that date too. It's based on when you have "gainful employment", "declare residency (lease, purchase house)," or "start school"
I'm going to lie about when the car first entered the state (today), that's when I got my smog test done too. Just to keep all the dates together and easy to read.
