2 hours 2 trips and $121.00 later

In all the places in the world, I hate DMV the most. The world would be a better place without all their stupid rules. Well, ...I guess some of thier rules are needed, but anyway,..I just want to vent a little. I do have to admit that the DMV in La Grande is way better than Bremerton. In both towns, they only have two employees working no matter how busy it gets. In La Grande though, the waiting room has never been full and I'm usually seen within 10 minutes where in Bremerton I'm seen no sooner than 20 minutes.
We've lived here for 6 months so I thought it was time to change our license plates. (I just learned today that I can pay 20 dollars to drive my car with a washington license around town for 20 days. After that I can't drive it until I get Oregon Licenses.) I failed to tell them that we've been living here for 6 months.
I thought that all I needed to bring with me was my registration and proof of insurance. They wanted the Title so I ran home and got the Title and came back. Then they wanted to verify the vin #. So they went to the car and came back and told me I had to scratch off the navy tabs that were covering the vin number. Meanwhile Ginger is getting hungry and tired of sitting in her carseat and I'm tired of lugging her back and forth from my car to the stupid DMV office. The lady came back from checking my car a second time and said that she couldn't see the numbers but she went ahead and scratched off more of the sticker. Gee, how nice of her to not make me go out a third time to scratch more of the sticker away. To end this story...two hours later, two trips to the DMV and $121.00 later, I got my Oregon License plates and tabs. I'm now officially an Oregonian and I hope to never have to go to a DMV for the rest of my life.
