[RENEW1]

Based on what I heard at the inspection process and again what I got from DMV this morning, I deceided to register my Cobra today and not wait for Oct. 1. I could not get a straight answer from DMV employees about how the new law was going to be implemented. I still want to drive mine before it gets too cold and not deal with any DMV problems so I registered it today. The process was not without minor problems. Because I had taken delivery from ERA in 2006,
I did not have any proof of payment of sales taxes other than ERA invoice. They wanted the proof of sales tax section filled in on the request for registration form. A few calls to someone within DMV and they accepted the ERA invoice with a warning that that section should be filled in by ERA in future.
Second minor problem was they wanted the Certificate of Origin. My last Cobra CO was taken by inspectors and I did not need it for registration. Fortunately I had the paperwork in my car and was able to give it to them.
Also reminded them that there was no emissions inspection required just to be sure they didn't enter me into the system.
