Trips to the DMV

After three trips to the DMV office, we have finally gotten our car registered. Yes, it was complicated. It was a gift with an out-of-state title signed by a power of attorney, but the process did not seem stable. It felt as if the rules were made up each time we went in and different document was required. And the office itself was a free-for-all with borderline offensive front license plates and pepper spray lining the walls rather than instructions or the list of needed documents. Plus there was a $6 cash fee for filing (something).
