I shall speak delicately since I suspect Powers That Be might monitor these forums.

I went to the... "lakeside department of automobiling" to have my inspection and see about moving the process along.

The inspector was less than completely agile and had a hell of a time reading the Massachusetts tag under the lip of the cowl, above the gauges. S/he also got nearly every point about the car wrong, and the supervisor inside said they would have to redo the verification next time.

They were unable to figure out what to do with this 2006 vehicle with a 1966 engine and spun in circles for a while before just handing me back the paperwork and suggesting I call BAR. The supervisor was firmly of the opinion that I could pass the BAR exam based on the '66 powerplant.

I smiled, nodded, and left. I will do the rest of my visits at the original office. Those of you who had a better experience must have gotten other staff...
