FYI to Allyson (not sure about Cashmere, only know CA) - you don't even need the printout of the check. If the check's cleared, your car should show as registered on the computer in the cop's cruiser when he runs your plates.

I tested this (when my stickers - paid for in December - still hadn't shown up by April) with my friend who's LASD.

By the way, Hi everybody!

Now back to working (and lurking...)

See, and my first thought was, "Wow, they could really stand to consolidate."

Now I want to ride around Italy on a scooter (ciao...) wearing ND's Satan costume from the party Saturday night, and shout "SPLINTER!" at everyone.

Except for that time when Allyson was with me and they wanted to impound my car.

Hee, hee. Take pictures, please.

They wanted to impound your car for expired tags??? I thought that was more along the lines of hefty ticket offense. Damn.

I thought you were still registered in NY at the time?

That happened to me once. Fuckers.

I think I've just been scared straight WRT expired tags. Well, I note the use of "wanted to" and gather that they did not succeed, so, at least there's that. But, jeebus.

Not every state impounds cars with expired tags, Jen. California happens to be pretty militant on the subject. Your locale might be a bit different.

Happened to me in Georgia.

FTR, the cop who impounded my car? In addition to being a total bitch, she had expired tags.

Possibly I shouldn't have pointed that out.
