^^^ what are you talking about? this topic has been covered many times here on zilvia.
I went to grad school in Cali for one year. I considered my permanent address to be back home in AZ, so I didn't register my car or change my license, kept both AZ. I was pulled over twice in the spring, after I had been living there for 6 months or so. My car was lowered, aftermarket wheels, N1 Dual exhaust, SR, etc., and neither time did the cop ask me about my car. Nor did they ask how long I had been in the state or question my residency. I am pretty sure that college students aren't considered permanent residents, there were plenty of non-CA plates in the parking lots.
