JPit, there is a subforum specifically for "registration" issues. Perhaps you could also post there, I know that when I was curious regarding registration in Kansas that the "registration" forum was where I looked first.

I'm so saddened by this recent development....read and participated in your thread where you searched for the right car, rejoiced when you got your Cobra, now this.....I think you have a wonderful attitude regarding the process, though. This would be enough to discourage most mortal men!
Cheers and good luck from Dugly
