There are two axioms in life. 1. In life, there are two kinds of people. Those with guns and those that dig. (Clint Eastwood in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly). 2. Most importantly. Either you are born rich or you marry rich. I dig. :LOL: |

Damn...I should have married rich. :CRY: |

I'll bring an extra shovel. ;) |
I could have married money instead of digging??? Damn!
Okay, some guys have all the luck? The same day I had the smooth CHP inspection, I spent 6-10 in the evening with my son in the hospital, who is undergoing chemo treatment for Leukemia and had spiked a fever. Today, after my swimmingly smooth BAR referee visit, I spent 7-11 in the evening back in the same hospital room for more of the same. Given a choice, I think I'd pick a difficult experience with the CHP and BAR referee. Not to itch-bay and oan-may too much, but it's been a long day. Hard to come home and excitedly exclaim, "Yes! I got my sticker!" when the key objective on arrival is a departure to the hospital asap. Nevertheless, I'm happy to be making incremental progress on the Cobra build. I think I may just try my chances at the DMV on Friday to finish up my paperwork and get some plates... You know, when I think about it, I don't think I'd want to marry rich. I'd much rather be out in the blazing sun with a shovel than standing around the Neiman Marcus costmetics counter holding my rich wife's designer purse while she shops... DD |
Doug,
Lots of ups and downs for you ... sorry to hear that Cameron had another trip to the hospital. You have a cool car AND a great family ... hang in there buddy :) - Tim |

Well, I didn't know ANY of those options were available. Little late to tell me now...
To DMV (on Friday), or not to DMV. That is the question. DD |
If you have an appointment, then do it. Should take less than an hour assuming Jody the manager is there. If she's not there, then skip it.

Agree with Rodney. Also, if it was like Steve's appt, they'll bring in the mob to try to shake you down for more money. :eek: Sorry to hear about Cameron...hope he's feeling better. |
I've found that having an appointment only lets me go in the "short" line, but I still get a number and have to wait (and wait... and wait...).
I may through the die and see what comes of it. Could this be the end of my run of good luck? Shake down for more cash? What happened to Steve? DD |
Just checked the weather. Looks like rain beginning tonight.
They want the car there, or just the paperwork? DD |

BTW - Here's the thread with Steve's account of his visit. I didn't have a problem, it just depends on the rep you get...and whether Jody is there to straighten their a$$es out. http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/bay-area-cobra-club/96315-i-have-plates.html |
When you get to the appointment line to get your number (and wait), make sure the guy who looks like he should have been in Berkeley in the '60's knows that you already have been to the CHP for your VIN assignment. Otherwise, what happened with me, the first counter guy was so abrupt and quick to get me on my way through the system, he sent me through the car line in the back for their onsite DMV VIN inspector to look at your car. That's unnecessary! You have already received your CHP paperwork. He later apologized, but it slowed me down a bit. I brought my car, but as Doug said, you do not need to bring it.

Me and the paperwork will likely give it a shot tomorrow. Hopefully, Jody will be there to ease the process. If not, I might elect to come back another day. I'd like to get it done, but my TOP is good through June.
Read some of Steve's account. Immediately had flashbacks of Apocalypes Now: "The horror... The horror..." DD |

Uhg... Back to the hospital again tonight...
Makes going to the DMV look like a piece of cake... DD |
Yeah, Baby! Yeah! Got plates!
Went to the DMV this am, no appointment, waited in the long line, then waited for my number to be called up. :JEKYLHYDE
Submitted my paper, the clerk did one, very quick consultation with the manager, entered my data, gave me plates and stickers, and wished me a happy weekend. :D I was expecting waterboarding. :eek: |
