Thread: New Virginia Street Rod Law

Tweet

Here's what I was told by VA DMV:

1. First you need to get a VIN. Send us the application, along with receipts for the body, frame, and motor, a photo of the car, a notorized statement telling how the car was constructed and the MSO.

2. When we send you the VIN, have a DMV officer attach it to your car.

3. Take an application for title, along with certification from the DMV officer that the VIN was attached to the car to your local DMV to obtain a title and registration - or mail it to us.

I did all of that. Today, I got the package back in the mail - rejected.

New instructions, send us back all the stuff we just returned, PLUS the following:

1. Receipt for the transmission.

2. Application for title.

3. Check for 3% of the cost of the parts .

First they tell me that I have to get the VIN, then the title & registration. Now, they tell me that I have to get the VIN and the title together.

This not only is different from what I was told in the first place, but it's contrary to the instructions on the forms.

However, rather than argue, I'm just going to comply. Small glitch, but I think it's going to work.

Well Jack, I am from the government ...... but I ain't here to help!

I work for the government in one state and live and have to deal with government in another state. That's always a joy... trying to keep the rules straight. Having been with the State for longer than some members here have been alive, I can honestly say that if anyone, anywhere, needs a reason to check into their nearest psychiatric facility it would be just trying to deal with the robots at their local DMV/DOT. I honestly believe that only the very dumbest candidates are the ones employed by many of these agencies.

Not even members of the rodding community who work at these fine establishments can get things done in an orderly fashion. So good luck, my friend....you'll likely need it.
