Jim, I read the directions again and, as Steve noted, I have to get the NY safety inspection first. You guys have to fill out part of the paperwork I will then take to DMV to register. This seems backwards to me but what the hey? I like your Corning suggestion as Elmira seems to always be a madhouse and I hate to drive in to Elmira anyways because of all the potholes. If I could get it licensed before the inspection I would just drive it over and take my chances for a missing inspection violation ($110 fine as opposed to a $55 roll back fee) but a violation for lacking registration in addition would be huge.

Thanks for your generous offer for your outfit but I would not feel comfortable with that arrangement. Dave's Towing told me they would charge $55 to take me to Horseheads and back for the DMV inspection so I imagine they would charge the same or less to your shop as it is closer. I will schedule the inspection only for my first tirp as this sholdn't take very long (I don't want to have to pay them for waiting for me) then I will bring the car back in later for the alignment after it is licensed.

Thanks again for the offer. See you in a few weeks.
