Really?  I think the ridiculous part is that the car registration fee
is so expensive.  Everywhere else I've lived it has only been $20, maybe
$30 per year.  I spend too much time running around trying to take care
of this car/license stuff.  

* First I went to get my license and they tell me that if I have a
  car I have to go register it first.  I shouldn't have told them I
  had a car.

* Before registering the car I called ahead and found out that I
  needed to have my car inspected before registering it and have
  proof of insurance (about the only part which makes sense).

* I went to get my car inspected and they want to see my insurance.  
  Why I don't know -- I only wanted the damn thing inspected.  It's
  a good thing they only wanted to see a policy card from the company.

* I called the insurance company to switch my insurance over to Texas,
  and luckily they didn't tell me to get a Texas license.  I was also
  lucky that I stuck with the same company who doesn't seem to care
  about a NC ticket, which according to NC law can't effect my rates.
  What I really wanted to do was get a "clean" Texas license before
  switching the insurance just to be sure.  My rates just about doubled
  anyhow which really sucked.

* I finally got the car registered, if only because my NC registration
  was expiring.  I still don't have a TX license, but I've got until
  September '93 for that :-)

I think I've sufficiently used up my bitching quota for the day.
