Steve Jobs had a trick where he never registred his car, ever, and simply alternated between cars

"A vehicle displaying a copy of the report of sale may be operated without license plates or registration card until ... [a] six-month period, commencing with the date of sale of the vehicle, has expired."
the updated verison, it's 90 days now

sell it to a buddy
buy it back
carry the bill of sale on you
if you and your buddy trade cars every 90 days, you might never even have to smog it in the first place
