The homecoming of my Kirkham has been delayed until next week. The shop wants to put a few miles/time on it before delivering it to me, since I didn't have a TOP. So I went to the DMV and got a TOP. While I had to pay my 2008-2009 registration fees

, I did get a TOP through 12/31/08

.
The DMV counter person seemed to sympathize with me that the backup at the BAR referee could be huge due to the budget battle. Anyway, assuming my car is home next week, I made an appointment at the CHP for the following week (October 7th). Just bring the paperwork, right? Should I call BAR and make an appointment now for after the CHP appointment or wait until after the CHP appointment? I assume that they couldn't possibly have anything before then. Do I need the VIN # to just make the BAR appointment?
Almost there. Thanks.
