Hi there gents...
As some of you may recall, I have been thru the grinder with the DMV starting back in Dec. of 2001. As of yesterday I have not been able to complete the reg. process. The standard response is " wait for sb1758 to clear then try again.
Well, I went down to the DMV and started the process. 2 hours later I have my serial # and am waiting for the forms to get to the BAR so I can schedule an appointment. Here are some fine print pointers I learned yesterday;
1. My cobra is titled as a 1966 comp with Texas reg.& title. California would not recognize that and have required me to title and register as a 2002, smog exempt spcn. ( I was under the impression that the BAR made that determination, not DMV.( Any comments out there?)
2. I made sure that DMV understood that this was a kit car, constructed by others and that I bought it as a running vehicle. They still held me to the "kit car" monniker.
At this point I am tired of all the hassle and bullsh!t I have had to put up with from DMV,CHP and BAR. I only want to drive my car!!!
I guess if I get the process done, I win. If I had to do this over again I would take it to Arizona and live there!!
Better luck to the next guy.
