It seems though if you just jump through their hoops it all works out. Unlike a couple of other states that Cashburn and I were discussing a couple of weeks back. It was one of the New England states, and I can't remember now, but it was absolutely ridiculous what you had to do there. It made California look like a cake walk.

The SB 100 process, while somewhat time consuming, although not too bad at all, isn't all that difficult. I know "xlr8or" will be doing it again with his FFR Coupe and I may do it again someday, assuming it's still available. Tony Ripepi has done it at least once, maybe twice with his GT40 and CSX, and will be doing it again with his next build. Same thing with Howard Jones and a bunch of other guys around here.

Now the registering of a out-of-state vehicle with less than 7,500 miles presents some issues.
