thanks, jshel. i'm gonna try to get her inspected tomorrow sans wipers - will see what happens. if they kick it back, i found a manual wiper from a boating website that clips to the windshield. i'll see if that flies with 'em. re: the sales tax, i really hate to show them the BOS that has $23K on it - i'm on the hook for $1400 or so if they use that number. maybe i'll give them the chance to pull a number from their hat and if it is higher than mine i'll pull a "oh, you mean one of these?" and pull out the bill of sale.
can't wait to get her stickered and licensed and hit the road. puttzin' around the 'hood ain't gonna cut it - gotta go hit the country roads and open her up!
