Boy do I hate going to DMV

I lucked out with my 65 Dart which had only lien paperwork when I bought it (apparently abandoned at a body shop). In CA, you must either bring the car to them or arrange for a Highway Patrol person to come to your house to verify VIN, etc. The later cost a lot and seemed a pain to arrange. A few years elapsed before I got it drive-able, so thought I would be hit with $$$ back-registration fees, but a nice lady at the DMV understood and said she used to have a 65 Dart, so set it as No-Op from the year I bought it ($25 once), plus the cost of current year's tag. It is good for states to support the old car hobby, especially in CA where they help define the state and they couldn't make movies without them.
