CA C7 OWNERS WHO BOUGHT FROM OUT OF STATE DEALER

My new C7 will (hopefully) arrive to my home in Southern CA by Christmas Eve. Since I have never brought a new Unregistered Car here, I am wondering what hoops I'll need to jump through to get the Car Registered.

My main question is, being a brand new 50 State Certified Car, do I have to get a Smog Check done? The Car is Untitled until I register it and that seems idiotic, but we are talking CA here. I'll have to get a Temporary Operating Permit to get it to the Dealer to Smog and then to the Auto Club and the DMV Office if necessary.

I usually use Auto Club when doing Car Registrations, but I did have to go to the DMV last time I brought a "used" Car here that I bought back East.

Any assistance would be appreciated. I can't be the first guy living in CA who bought his C7 from an out of State Dealer. The local Dealers here are still asking 10K -20K over Sticker, especially if it's a Z51. I managed to get my Car without a Markup back East.
