Thanks for reminding me I have to go deal with the ****** DMV**** next month.
I hate dealing with the court house here. It is never as easy as it should be. Here is worse than in the county I was in. Metal detector are the worst.

It is why I renew my vehicle registration online.
Oh, don't even get me started on online registration or mail in registration for that matter.
Last year I renewed online and what a HORROR that was. I never saw such a cluster fibble. I had to call them and ask them where my tags were because I was approaching two days before expiration. The woman says it indicates I have paid for them and all that. So, I ask her, "if I get pulled over and they run a check on my plates will my vehicle come up as currently registered?" and she said, "No" I said, 'Even though it says I'm registered where you are sitting?" and she said, "That's correct" I said, it has been 40 days since I took care of this and still don't have them, what exactly is going on?" and she actually told me I could go to the DMV office and pay for new tags. I said, 'Excuse me, but the whole reason I did it online was to avoid going there and also you want me to pay double and wait for you geniuses to figure out I double paid sometime at the end of the year and issue a refund?" And around and around we go.
Needless to say, I ended up at the DMV mad as hell and got tags there anyway or I wouldn't have been able to drive my car. The other ones never did show up in the mail and 7 months later I got a refund check for the initial payment.
I still don't get how the DMV's computer could indicate that my car was, in fact, registered, but if the police ran a check on the plates it would say it wasn't. I got pulled over once for expired tags and the police ran a check on my plates and he said, "You are registered, someone probably just stole your tags off your car - it happens all the time." and he told me for $5 I could get new tags. So, even though I didn't have the tag on the car then, it indicated I was registered. But, under the other situation it wouldn't. GOSH I just LOVE Government run operations.
I foresee another, "I Love Lucy" episode headed my way in a couple weeks.
I LOVE our DMV. LOL I know, it sounds crazy - especially in NYC. But seriously, they are so nice; the wait is seldom more than 1/2 hour; it's organized and efficient; and they are in a shopping mall so there's ALWAYS parking. Even better is the online system. In 13 years, I've not had a problem. In fact, I don't know anyone who's had a problem at the one on Staten Island; so much so that my friends in other boroughs come here to hang out with me after they do their minutes at the DMV.

Oh, hush you. The one closest to me is in a little strip mall area too. It's just the whole mass confusion with the whole system that boggles my mind. After all these years you'd think they'd have it together a little better.
I've already crabbed about my dmv horror story, 3 months and a few trips to the dmv to get my damn license renewed.
