And also more training for the DMV clerks. Ours are just downright nasty and no one will go here if they can avoid it. Also these outlying DMVs have a hard time even getting into Sac. on the phone. By the time some of them get in the numbers are already gone.
Yeah ... there were alot of owners out there using "another method" to get their cars on the road.

I'm afraid that the Achilles heel will always be the DMV. I couldn't believe it when I took my first set of paperwork to an office and found out that I had more documentation on how to register the car on their system than they did. It probably would have been quicker for me to type it in myself.

What I'd like to see would be just the private citizens with a first time registration using the SB100 numbers, rather than re-registers and dealers getting the numbers. Dealers - and it's written right into the freakin' rules - are not supposed to be given SB100 numbers. The only person(s) who should be able to register the car should be the guy who shows up with his drivers license and he should only be able to register one single car per year. But that's just me, I suppose. Makes it more fair to everyone.

Your pal,
Meat.
