Any inspections under 5585 yet?

[SwiftDB4]

Feel like I'm on a rollercoaster here. Get a call back from the same WA St. inspector today and I'm talking to a different person. He had talked with DOL and/or WA St. Police higher ups. No hostile attitude, actually quite pleasant. Took my VIN and other info. They will work up protocol for inspections from my car. He told me he understood our issues such as emission difficulties and selling to surrounding states. Will get back to me after protocol work with DOL. Guy must have had a really bad day yesterday or Olympia told him we were right about retitling. Until I actually get retitled I'm holding my breath.

Which office are you dealing with?

Vancouver, WA inspection station, but I had also contacted the main DOL at Olympia with inspection questions.

The rollercoaster continues. DOL Olympia (some backroom legal person) has determined that despite Section 5 in the bill that still doesn't allow previously titled cars to retitle. I have a call into Steve McDonald at SEMA. Steve drafted the bill and has worked on legislation in many states. At this point I don't know if we are permanently screwed or not. My initial speculation on this bureaucratic BS is either:
(1) Section 5 refers to previous registrations, not previous titles?
(2) DOL has some standing rule that retitling is just not possible?
(3) DOL and WSP are pissed at the # of us attempting to retitle and want to block us despite the legislation.
Stay tuned.

Steve McDonald (SEMA) e mailed me. He is busy at the annual SEMA show, but will call me Nov. 7. Anybody get anything in writing about this bureaucratic BS?
