Same thing here in Missouri ... bring your receipts, pay the taxes (on items that have not already had taxes paid), get a quick inspection, wait a few weeks and ta-da, titled.
While I can understand not wanting to pay the "big bucks" that some states much charge in taxes; the way to fix the problem is not to circumvent the law but to change the law.
And come to think of it... just when is California going to split into two parts (Northern and Southern)? Has anyone figured out how to make San Diego part of the Northern half after the split?
