That's odd because there are hundreds of them titled as 1965 Cobra Replica in the state of Oregon. I know someone who just did it in the past month. Maybe they just didn't like you.

Well, that's probably the answer right there. But here on Club Cobra, we love you Ernie.

New security features designed to help prevent fraud and counterfeiting of California driver licenses have caused a backlog of renewals, according to the California DMV.

While many drivers applied through the mail or online hoping to save time, some have faced delays of more than two months.

Marjorie Barakian, a certified nursing assistant and home health aide, says she's been waiting nearly two months for her new license.

Barakian says she wrote a check on Nov. 8 and the DMV cashed it on Nov. 22. As of Jan. 6, she still hasn't received her renewal.


"Do I have to move to another state to get a driver's license?" said Barakian.

Barakian is not alone. Several viewers wrote NBCLA, saying they've experienced similar delays.

"It was a little more than three months from the date I paid it before I got it," said viewer Robert McDonnell. "The operator at the DMV said the solution is to go to the DMV and wait in one of their endless lines to get a driver's license extension."

I bought my roadster last month from a guy in Washington. It was registered as a 1965 Ford. When it came time for me to register it I was somewhat paranoid after reading all the registration horror stories here. It turns out I got all worked up for nothing. The lady at the DMV came out, looked at the VIN tag, said nice car and gave me new plates.

Was this before or after her legally mandated (by the State of Oregon) pot break?
