Patrick,

Isn't it interesting that two organizations that should be fairly familiar with automobile registration were dead wrong! Even if you went back to the DMV person who "helped" you the first time, they would figure out that they had given you bad advice, but just not care that they did! As for AAA, I am surprised by their response. In my dealings with them they have researched answers to my questions before giving out false information. If you feel like it, you might want to bring it to the attention of the branch manager that you got "bum" information, and that he/she should pass it on to headquarters.

In any case, jdog is right. Read over the tons of information available on this site. Get your paperwork in order and be at your local DMV office very early on the first business day of January 2006. Good luck. And when it is all over, have fun with your car. My DMV saga lasted 11 months. I really treasure my car's SB100 status. I hope you will too.
