RE: Need off topic help

Don't assume because they are the DMV they know what they're doing...I 
parked a car for a year back in the 70's and when I went to get new tags 
for it the woman at the DMV told me I had to buy the previous year's 
registration first. When I asked her how I could buy something that had 
already expired she had no answer, just that I would still have to buy 
it. Someone else finally straightened it out for me.
