I'm glad it's so strict on getting salvage cars registered; I'm scared to imagine what kind of garbage would end up on the road here if salvage registration was lax.

Honestly, it isn't that the inspection is strict. That I would understand and consider reasonable. It isn't. The actual physical inspection of "roadworthiness" took no less than 15 minutes.

- Lights (incl. fogs)
- Horn
- Glass
- Wipers and washers
- Seat belts & Seats
- Service/Parking Brake
- Wheel bearings and steering
- Visual underneath (tires, leaks, worn or broken suspension, holes, rust, etc)
- Alignment with antiquated wheel track

Despite the minority of states actually looking for aig bag condition, that doesn't bother me. Again, reasonable. What galls me is the inconsistent application of the policies.

I know Ray's good because he doesn't mess around.

The last time I messed around was 1964.

Thanks guys! The body shop did an awesome job. I had the hood open and while not an experienced eye, can't even tell that the hood was from a different color car and the fenders were tweaked. Some ninja shit there, I tell you. Already pricing upgrades. Bought my new shift knob, V1 direct wire kit and floormats.

And so it begins...

Yup. I got problems.

*** UPDATE ***

BP and Charlie are correct, I don't mess around. Floated around Liberty Mutual today on the phone. Inside of 30 minutes, got ahold of the department responsible for writing off the vehicle, and they found the paperwork I was looking for. Once it is redacted of personal info of the previous policy holder, the paperwork will be emailed. Once I print out all my paperwork, back to the DMV tomorrow. If all works out, should be tagged tomorrow. <fingers crossed>

Good luck! I'm sure it'll feel great to get that thing registered and on the road.
