Yeah, well – so, I had the opportunity to take pix, in between the time me and the flatbed guy pushed it out of the garage, and he started hauling it onto the flatbed. Having already removed the tags, I flew around the car and took my pix.
Today I went back to AAA, to submit my pix to the DMV.
“Oh, they won’t take this picture” (referring to the top image, below).
“Why not?”
“Because it has to be entirely from the side, like this one” (referring to the bottom image).
“Gimme a break!” I said. I may have said something else too; I’m blanking on that.
“Your choice”, he said. “Send them in, and if they reject them, you’ll be back where you started.”
Of course, in their benevolence, it will be 60 days before I find out they’ve been rejected.
I sent them in. I’m beyond caring; let them reject me.
What really bothers me about this is it’s our tax dollars that are paying for this stupidity. Common sense and good judgement have left the building, folks! I ran across this type of BS recently when having a mid sixties Ford VIN # verified. The door has the VIN # on the jamb, and the door had obviously been replaced with one of a completely different color and the tag was removed. I showed the officer the cowl of the car where the VIN # is also embossed, and he said it was unacceptable. Had to load the car on a trailer and drop off at the CHP office, where they did the verification with no problem. You go figure!! —John
reminds me of re-financing your house..be sure to signyour name exactly the same each and every time, do Not go outside the margins, have it notarized, , prove you are who you say you are…of course that is for a mortgage, which is a huge commitment of time and money…come to think of it, so are collector cars!
