This is going to cost me



I tried posting this last night and it didn't go through. One more time. Here is the current news on my cars. It's a pain going to the DMV and I go there alot but this car is making me pull my hair. First I had to get the trailer and this trailer was not registered so I had to register it and pay some fees and fines. Then I had to take it and have it verified to get a VIN# , well I got all that done.


A few days ago I went to U-Haul to buy the correct Pintle hook that connects the trailer to the hitch of my truck. Now I have to look for a place to buy the correct connection to connect the wiring to my truck, this is important since the trailer has electric brakes which make stopping easier.


Well now I have to face the hard part, getting to get the burnt car registered. Since I took the car from the streets I have no paperwork also since the car is burnt it has no VIN# visible since all the aluminum melted. The DMV wont verify the VIN# of the car until it is in running condition. They said I had to have it done and then they would check it out but wait! Why would I invest my time and money on something that is not under my name? The DMV lady said that was a risk I would have to take. I am not taking that risk. If the stars align and the sun shines on me maybe the CHP can verify "my" vehicle without having it running but I have to find some information on the car. I went on the web and finally I found some information on 311.org telling me how to get the VIN# on the chassis but it is very, very well hidden. Tomorrow I will begin dismantling the car and pulling the body off the chassis. Wish me luck!
