Boy do I hate going to DMV

I have never seen one of these thread in which "legal injury" is contemplated.
Every state is different on how invent a car which does not exist. At least exist in the eyes of the stupid government's rules.
Ok, probably some states have rules that are the same as some other states'.
But everyone on this board that has been through this knows what I meant by each state having its own set of idiots in charge.
In my state, the police runs a check on the car, a "vin verification".
He signs off on the car and you get a registration.
The last car I saved from destruction had an 84 tag on it but the cop said it "Did not exist" in the system


If the previous "owner" of your car never registered the car, what makes him the previous owner?
Hypothetically speaking, the guy next door to you could have been the previous owner.
Take that as a hint.
