My Love Affair with the Department of Motor Vehicles

For those of you that know me or have read past posts I have had lot of luck with the DMV. The joy that was trying to get my drivers license from Texas and Nevada was an experience in happiness that I'm OK never reliving. My latest run in with them was last week when it was discovered that slackers like me who had not registered their cars yet would face a $1,000 fine in addition to registration fees. I know it was wrong of me not to register the car immediately upon my arrival back to the lovely state if my birth but $77.00 registration in Texas vs. $400 in Nevada is a lot of reasons for procrastination. However; with the calendar at October 3rd (the new penalty went into affect Oct. 1) off to the DMV I went to spend a sunny Saturday in the pleasant and customer service oriented state agency. After showing all of my paperwork and winning the race against the clock to get my vin inspection...FYI you need to have a vin inspection in addition to previous registration, out of state plates, proof of Nevada insurance, drivers licence and a little bit of blood to complete the mission. I was successful in my quest and $430 lighter in the bank account. So when you see me sporting my new Spay & Neuter Nevada License plates please honk and wave hello as I appreciate a friendly wave to the usual road rage experienced while driving the desert streets of LV.
