[Mike Brasfield]

.OK guys....here's the latest in my adventure with he MVD. ALL DONE . Went down to the station on Greenfield south of Hiway 60. Well it really isn't on Greenfield. I was south bound on Greenfield until I was in nothing but cow pastures. Made a U-Turn and only missed it by 9 miles. Drove directly to the back of the building and met a very nice young lady who was so excited over seeing a Cobra. She noted my CA VIN on the frame and again under the hood. She filled out the paper work as a 1965 Ford Cobra. Inside with my paper work and waited about 1 hr. to make it to the window. All was moving along fine until the lady at the window couldn't find a Ford Cobra in their guide book. Lots of behind the doors discussions with several staff and they returned to register the car as a 1965 SPCON Roadster. I elected to register for a 2 yr. period with personalized plates. Total charges were $50 for the personalized plates ($25 +$25) and $37 for two years tags. Total out the door was $87.00. It was actually very pleasant. When I presented my paperwork to the window inside the lady said, "oh you're the one with the Cobra". I asked her how she knew and she said "oh everyone knows your here, we were wondering which one of us would get to meet you". Several people mentioned BJ and the "supersnake $5.5M auction price". All set with the new plate and waiting for my personalized plate to arrive 4-6 weeks. It will read H I S S S Y. Oh one more thing, they never asked about proof of insurance and said, "of course you don't need to smog it". Well ......you guys can no longer rag on me for the CA plates.
