From CA DMV website:

Smog inspections are required unless your vehicle is:
• Hybrid
• Gasoline powered 1975 year model or older
• Diesel powered 1997 year model and older or with a Gross Vehicle Weight rating (GVWR) of more than 14,000 lbs
• Electric
• Natural gas powered with a GVWR rating of more than 14,000 lbs.
• Motorcycle
• Trailer
However, OP didn't say old enough to be smog exempt IN CALIFORNIA, he just said old enough to be smog exempt, which is "a big issue in California." In that case, I'm almost already there. Here in CT, anything 25 years old or older is exempt, and my 1992 Accord is 3 years away from that. I drive it almost every day and do all maintenance and repairs myself. I don't really have, or plan any modifications for it. The only mods I have are an upgraded stereo, R134a conversion, and rotor-over-hub conversion for the front brakes.
