You guys have it pretty rough.
Over here there is really no fussing with anything, but be prepared to wait an hour or two in line.
When I bought the Stealth I don't think I even went to the DMV before I sold it.
Matter of fact, same for the XT6 and SVX. I never went to the DMV to transfer my name, though they were/are in my name.
My memory is fuzzy and I probably just forgot (because it was so simple), but I can count on one hand the number of times I've went there. All 5 times to get liscenced.
Permit at 14, m1 class at 16, D m1 at 18 (twice), and I just renewed at 24.
Had an MT Isuzu pickup on it's way South so I failed my first driving test. Tester guy didn't like me popping it in neutral coming to a stop.
