So today I takes me and Libby down to DMV to get her legal. I'm there for 2 hours, then have to go outside and wait in another line to get her Ca check up to make sure she's legal to be here. Guy looks at all the numbers, checks milage, then has me lift her lid. Guess what? She's an illegal! Now, I double checked with the manager in Tx that she was ok for emissions for Ca, and he assured me she was. So on the way home, I'm very loudly calling him everything my extensive vocabulary (and after working with all guys for 18 years it's pretty extensive!) can come up with. And then some. So I call my buddy the cop that has a house in Az and Ca and asked him what he does....he registers in Ca. He said to register it in Az using a family address for a year and hope I don't get caught. Yeesh! So then I call the Jeep dealer here and he checked the vin # (DMV never checked the number) and said yep, it sure enough is legal. But there's a sticker under the hood that says not for sale in Ca! So he gives me Chrysler's number, I got a very nice man that checked the vin and said yup, you're legal and not only that, I have a warranty to cover it if there are any problems. So I now have a case number and a promise of a phone call tomorrow to see whats what. I then mentally apologized to Joey the manager, gave him a call and told him what was going on and to expect a call from Chrysler tomorrow. He pulled Libby's birth certificate and verified AGAIN that she was ok for here. He said it sounded like Chrysler put the wrong sticker on it and it could just be a matter of them mailing the dealer here the right sticker. I'll believe it when I see it.
Stay tuned for further developments in the drama department.
