I proud of you Paul!  You forced DMV to actually do their job.

To any of you fellow Californians, the DMV has very good procedures (detailed 
and simple), but lack people who know how to follow them.
Remember to take a stand when dealing with the unknown (or should I say 
unknowing).

     This morning I went to the DMV prepared to do battle with the FOE 
(Forces 
 Of Evil) yet again. They had succeeded in throwing numerous roadblocks into 
 the process of registering the old AD 3600 and had me jumping over more than 
 a few barriers, so I had come prepared for a battle royal. As it happened, 
 the battle turned out to be between the DMV and the DMV rather than between 
 the DMV and me.
     The point of contention this time was the Certified Weight Certificate. 
 The DMV insisted I provide one, I baulked, unwilling to spend the $100 or so 
 to a tow company to transport my non drivable truck. Available car trailers 
 are too small for this truck.
     The appointment was set early, to allow plenty of time for the 
combatants 
 to maneuver, and I came armed with official GM literature. As it turned out, 
 I merely "displayed" those documents, like "displaying" or "brandishing" a 
 gun will often deter a criminal, the issue was settled. The information was 
 transferred off the old "pink" slip and the action moved to the DMV vs. DMV 
 battle. In the end, my rather personable clerk ended up calling in a 
 supervisor and the two of them waded into the stacks of manuals and 
persuaded 
 the computer over the course of more than an hour, to accept this old AD 
with 
 a new VIN, new title, new registration, YOM plates and a Temporary Operating 
 Certificate.
     When I got back to the shop, I looked over the paperwork over before 
 filing it. Sure enough I spotted a possible problem. After all was said and 
 done, the print out still listed the old license plate number. Now we will 
 just have to wait until the documents come back from Sacramento to find out 
 if there is really a problem. Aaaauugh!!!
