I was looking into the PNO registration process and reducing my insurance for my other Evo 8 and I came across this on the DMV website.

California law requires vehicles to be currently registered if they are driven, towed, stored, parked on public roads or highways or parked in an off-street public parking facility at any time during the registration period.
Non-operational means that the vehicle will not be driven, towed, stored, or parked on public roads or highways for the entire registration year.
I'm worried about the "Towed" aspect in the statement since this is my planned method of transport. If i keep the car registered eventually it would have to be smogged. So how do people get around this?
