Ca Dmv
Today with the help of forum members and alot of preparation I FLEW thru the DMV process. Total time from entering to exiting... 30 minutes. SPCN No. 361:)
|
Do we live in a great state, or what!!!
|
Yep, I think so but alot of others would dispute that!
|
WOW 361 vehicles in a little over 4 months?
|
Ed,
I've been doing my Cobra's registration for 17 years. Believe me, in the past, it was NOT an easy process! Last year I made three trips to the DMV, the BAR and the smog test station. Of all the stupid things that our current California government has done, they got one thing right! So, maybe I'll hold off on signing the Gray Davis impeachment petition. Paul |
I remember going to the DMV a few years back to renew the registration on qa currently registered 1929 model A which was fully restored factory stock. Lady told me I couldn't renew the registration because "Your car is too old" So I think it depends on what clerk you get to talk to when you go, some are obviously idiots.
|
You are right. When I got there they began to go about it all wrong and told me I needed to get my CHP inspection and BAR prior to issuing the number. I produced the registration steps posted here on the forum which soon had a gathering and it was done step by step in minutes. I might add that the clerk I had I could have spent all night with:p

Chifo: when you get the Cobra all sorted out, go back and ask her if you can take her out for lunch, and let us know what she says!
|
Chifo,
At the risk of some repetition here on the forum, could you outline the key points of your process. I will be ready for registration in about six months and I only live 20 minutes from you, so I will try to follow in your foot steps. Which station did you use? E-mail me for my phone number if you'd prefer to talk rather than type. |
Dave,
Go to this link: http://www.cobratrader.com/registrationCA.html I'm in the middle of registering my Cobra in California and this is the best explanation I've seen. I have my SB100 number. Now I need to make the appointment with the CHP. Chris |
Chris, Try not to go to the chp. Get the necessary inspection at aaa or somewhere like that. The chp held me up for the better part of a year.
|
So far so good during the registration process. I was SB-100 # 276. CHP VIN check was easy, they just wanted to check out my car. Light and brake check was very thorough, but easy as well. BAR smog check was straight forward, exempt sticker issued. All I have left is the trip back to DMV to go final.

Going fast now...
I got 369 at 11:30 this morning. |
Wow Jeff,
You beat me by 2. I was 278. How is your beast running? Paul |
IT'S A THROW OF THE DICE
My registration was a challenge. SB-100 number was easy enough. I got the temporary right off. CHP and smog referee were a breeze. Brake & Light Inspection (private shop) turned into a nightmare. The DMV people ran hot and cold. Some were cooperative, others were vindictive. I began the process at one office and completed it at another as a result of the clerks. Once I found a "friendly" office, I got extensions on the temporary without a hassle until I got it right. A word of advice: make an appointment.
