A final note. I had my DMV safety inspection this morning and as soon as the guy saw the car he said "This will be easy, about five minutes". It actually took about ten with the placement of the new VIN (he was kind enough to put it in the engine compartment instead of the dash (ugh) or on the door jamb). Apparently most of their inspections are on vehicles that have been declared a total loss by the insurance companies. BTW, they must take these inspections kind of serious as both inspectors had holstered 9MMs.

All things considered the NY registration process was very smooth. I worked with Tom Noonan and Mark Enge at Technical Services and they did everything in a timely manner and were very nice and helpful about everything.

Another inspection tomorrow (the regular NY inspection) - thanks for scheduling so quickly for me Jim - then off to DMV for registraton and plates. I should be on the road by sundown - I am totally excited.
