...time to get it fixed? I have a car that passed last year but I know its not gonna pass this year! Will the DMV give me a temporary tag till I can get it fixed? My car is nothing fancy, I am a single dad in a bind. Can not afford another car right now, however in amonth I will be able to. My car needs a CA approved Cat Converter which is $600 I am hoping I can drive this car for another month on a TEMP TAG then just get rid of it and buy me another car next month, can this happen. Will they give me a temp tag thats good for like 30 days or longer. I go to smog then I go to register but the car wont pass, what will the DMV do.

Thanks
 
my dad had an 82 ford that wouldnt pass. heres what you do go to the dmv on a day when they arent busy if possible. tell the person what you said here and you should be fine. they will probably give you a 30 day temp registration
 
The DMV will give you a temporary 90 registration that you put in your back window until you manage to pass a smog certification.
