Registering Your Car Under California – SB100

[camoit]

It has been nearly 30 days since I went to the DMV and played that game again. They took all of my original paperwork and gave me copies then told me it will be sent to there head quarters. So I figured I would give them a call today and see where things are at. 1:45 Pm. Of course there swamped with calls so the system will call you back. 2:21 PM they call back. The person on the other end told me my paperwork was sent to the special processing unit. They gave me the number so I gave them a call. When talking with them they told me that the BAR has declined my exemption this time. WHAT!!!! here we go again. So I call up the BAR and they tell me it's not them and explain the paper work I had should take care of any DMV problems. So I call back the DMV and talk with another person who sent me to investigations. They told me that the DMV is back to denying my registration through SB 100. Somewhere someone is trying to play God in reading how the law is applied to cars.
The law is simple and vague but you must be ready to put up a fight.

"...Section 580. A "specially constructed
vehicle" is a vehicle which is built for
private use, not for resale, and is not constructed by a licensed manufacturer or remanufacturer. A
specially constructed vehicle may be built from (1) a kit; (2) new or used, or a combination of new
and used, parts; or (3) a vehicle reported for dismantling, as required by Section 5500 or 11520,
which, when reconstructed, does not resemble the original make of the vehicle dismantled. A specially
constructed vehicle is not a vehicle which has been repaired or restored to its original design by
replacing parts..."

So from what I can see my truck DOES fit under the law. But there is some Junior person that is trying to hold me up once again. Time for more training. Now I weight to here back from the DMV. 3:34 PM We will see who wins this one.
4:16 Pm. I figured I would give a call to the Chief of Registration & Automation. The problem is that the lap top I use for E-mail has a bad motherboard and the parts won't be in tell next week. So with some Googling I found a real handy link to take you all the departments and phone numbers of the DMV. Lot's of internal numbers people don't want to give you. It would be like them giving you there Bosses direct line. So use it when you know you are right and they are wrong. http://www.cold.ca.gov/agency_display.asp?ATRID=MTRVHL

Time for some one to get there heads banged around AGAIN....

4:26 PM: Mr. Conway calls me back and guess what?? People are now trained on what to do with my registration. Now I hope the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation gets the order from DMV to have the prisoners stamp my license plate. From there the US Postal Service delivers it to me. But only time will tell if I need to use my inside contacts of the CDCR.
So here is what happened. The note from the Chief telling everyone to approve my registration was conveniently misplaced. He told me that the people I had talked to were surprised that I knew his name and had his phone number. It was strange how the small people did everything in there power to stop my registration.
