No vehicle inspection except an emissions test. The diesel emissions test is ridiculously permissive. Make sure the car is good and warmed up before you go and it'll pass easily. All joking aside, I've found people here to be extremely friendly, but sometimes a little defensive of their home state. Californians are generally also of the strong opinion that California is the best place in the universe, and I suspect that's what's caused a lot of the conflicts with transplanted Californians. As a transplant from the Midwest, I have nothing to prove and I get along fine. You'll find that transportation policy here is a complete mess. Everyone's petrified that we'll turn into L.A. so any move to expand freeway capacity gets met with heavy resistance.
