It is NOT the first time SB-100 was isssued under "SUSPENSE".

I went through the same thing last year. My friends applying for registration for their cars within days of me, were up and running within days. Mine took an additional 6 months before I was given my plates and title.

Brace yourself.

Only in California you would be expected to pay sales taxes on something you already own. Actually they also want to the value of your OWN labor to be included in the declared value of the car so they can tax you for YOUR labor.

If you, yourself do a $10,000 paint job using $500.00 f materials you are expected to pay taxes on the $10,000 because that adds to the value of the car..
