California DMV: Can't Renew Registration Online

How are the DMV's down in southern CA? I just went in to one up here to renew my DL and apply for my Real ID. I was in and out in 15 mins with no appt. I was pleasantly surprised. It was the most painless visit to DMV I've ever had.

For the vehicle registration, I agree with the others - I'd just hit up AAA, if you're a member of course.
