OK, time to vent. Remember when we went and picked up our car from the port a month ago? Well, I've been trying to register it for that long. We want to register it in Missouri like our other car is because we're only going to live here for five months. Calling the DMV is even more ridiculous than going there, but I thought I had finally figured out what we needed and I mailed everything in two weeks ago. We got it returned today marked "rejected" because allegedly we didn't show proof of insurance; they returned all the documents to us, including...the proof of insurance paper. I called this morning and was told "whoops" and that I should send it back. But now our temporary plates on our car are expired. Can I tell you how angry this makes me? Someone halfassed his job and now I have no car to drive around for another two weeks while they actually do the job they were supposed to do two weeks ago. And amazingly, some people in this country want the government to do more stuff in our lives.

Posted by: Erin at July 13, 2006 01:34 PMWe are just going through that. Indiana was going to make me pay sales tax on the purchse price of a vehicle I bought it 2005 and the plates are ridiculous! Luckily, we are moving to Ohio so I have no sales tax to pay on the car and my plates will be $40. It just is always funny because every DMV I talk to, has to research the "military" part and call me back!
