Befuddled DMV

I went to the local DMV this morning to register my MC/S which I had purchased in New York. The people there had no idea what a "Mini" was. They made me go outside in the parking lot and show it to them, so they could be certain that the car was real!

When I explained to them that there were two dealers in Virginia for that make, they finally found it on the computer. Guess I am the first registered in this town.

Did get my vanity plate, though - SMALL EH?


No question mark on the plate -will add that to the bracket.

Actually there's 3 Sterling, Crown in Richmond and Checkered Flag in VA Beach.

That's actually kinda odd that they couldn't figure the car out, there's no shortage of them in the state...

I had a similar experience when I called the Easy-Pass hotline to obtain another unit for my mini. I was on the phone for at least 8-10 minutes explaining to the guy on the phone what a Mini was. I eventually told him to go to MiniUsa.com and find out for himself.
