Not Your Typical Day at DMV

- Happiness at the DMV

- Gets the Job Done!
I went to the Merced DMV today with all of my paperwork filled out and all of my receipts in hand. I was helped by two very lovely young ladies who seemed genuinely interested in my project; Be prepared, that is the whole secret to the DMV. If you stroll in there and tell them “I just built a car, what do I do now?”, without doing your homework, you will have a somewhat un-productive day at the DMV. If on the other hand, you go in there, as I did, with all of the forms required all filled out (all of the information and forms are on the DMV website), you may have a good experience. I even went so far as to fill out a spreadsheet with all of my receipt information… I had a great experience! I got a temporary registration, so that I may drive EVIE to the various agencies for inspections and VIN assignment. It only took about 1.5 hours, including the phone call from DMV to my insurance company.
