Ok so I'm feeling a bit better now, having stumbled across more information on the early days of SB 1578.

I now also have a better understanding of RodKnock's definition of fun.

Thought y'all might enjoy this blast from the past as well...

So today.. Jan 6, 2003, five days after the DMV babe Wanda who was trying to process my title change but didn't have a procedure to do so, but did sit on hold with HEADQUARTERS for an hour failed yet again to call me back as she promised she would.

I called HEADQUARTERS myself.. First guy I get says.. SB 1578 wasn't passed, but then tells me it only affects smog standards.. OK, was it not passed or does it affect smog standards.. But is willing to pass the buck, (and give me a telephone number to the Reichstag itself..

Second person, higher up the food chain... Ya, Ve don't have any information on that new law sir.. Would you like to call the Vice Field-Marshall Von Uberfurer, they make the procedures.. "What.. Yes.. Of course.. Get me their number.."

So I get an intelliget sounding (english speaking person) "Office of the Uberfurer" (cool.. this has only taken an hour on the phone) I ask her if I can find out the status of my particular case, or even whether there has been a procedure established to register cars under 1578. She seems to understand the question, (this is the first person to do so)

"What DMV did you go to sir.. Procedures have been clearly established" (ok I'm this five hours into this including today's calls) So I tell her as politely as I can there has been considerable confusion without making my situation any worse..

"If your information was taken and a SPCNS Sequence Number was issued you will receive a Certificate in the mail." Certificate? for what? Just a certificate?? How is it used? (no reply.. then..) "Once a certificate is issued no further action is required".

Ok.. so I need do nothing more, I ask.. "NO" Ok.. thank you for your time.. (leaving well enough alone knowing that the Uberfurer can take as easily as he can give)

So.. I guess you can go to your DMV with a copy of the new law and hope they have been brought up to speed.. I had a internet print out from the California State Senate explaining the new law as well as a page from the DMV website.. The DMV in my local office looked at it and said.. "I hate when they put this stuff on the internet"...

Without it I would have been turned away in 3 min. Good luck..
