Bill, you have no idea of the hell I have been going through trying to get my car registered!

I started back in late April, going to the MVC website and asking for what I had to do: NO RESPONSE. Tried again: same result. Tried calling the number they had listed for registration: they hung up on me: 4 times! Made an appointment at the Turnersville facility, and they gave me a Universal Title Application and Registration form and told me to come back with pics of the completed car and receipts.

Took awhile to get the pictures taken, because of the weather. Then my printer crapped out, so I had to wait for my son to print stuff out for me. Went back to Turnersville, and got yelled at for not having insurance, on a car that wasn't even, technically, a car yet.

American Modern said they would cover my car, they just needed pics (different than the ones I already had) and the declarations page from my regular car insurance. After sending everything in, I waited a week, then called back because I had not heard from them. They said they were denying my coverage because the locked car trailer I have it stored in is not a permanent structure, like a garage or carport! Finally got coverage through Heacock Classic.

Went back to Turnersville, and finally got some decent information. I have to go through Foreign Title/Reconstructed Vehicle Unit in Trenton, and they gave me a number to call. Called the number and said, "I have a Cobra replica, built from a Factory Five kit, that I want to get registered." The response was, "Do you have a Registration?" I lost it, and asked to talk to a supervisor.

She sent me a "Glider Kit" with an Application for Certificate of Ownership form. That was just before the Fourth of July holiday, so I got things together over the weekend and called back yesterday (Monday, the 7th). That person immediately sent me an Improper Evidence of Ownership packet. I said why do I need that when I have everything: SILENCE. I hung up and called another number I had been given for people having problems with the State Government.

That person gave me another number and extension for the Foreign Title Unit, then put me through directly. The person I talked to then said, use the Glider Kit form and send everything to the address she gave me in Trenton. Then I will get a Title for the Cobra, which I can take back to Turnersville to get the car Registered and Tagged. I just need to get that form printed out, and the enclosed letter they requested, and I can send everything to Trenton for a Title. That's were I am at right now.

We'll see what happens next...
