Productive Day

Today was productive as I went to the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division in Gallup to get myself a New Mexico driver's license and to get The Beast its New Mexico plate (unlike California, New Mexico only requires one license plate.

Since the process of registering/titling a vehicle in a different state involves a V.I.N. inspection, I will have to return again to register the Mustang. Before I even do that, I have to complete and send to Sacramento a request for a duplicate title. The one I have/had disappeared. I found The Beast's title. Once I receive the duplicate title from Sacramento, I can then register the Mustang in New Mexico.

I was pleasantly surprised on the cost to register vehicles in New Mexico. For one year, the RV registration would be around $108. For two years, the cost is $211. Guess which I did? The two-year one!

In California, the cost to renew The Beast would have been around $300-500. This tells me that I made a good decision in moving here!

So, The Beast is all registered, and I have its new plate, registration and title (they print those on the spot).

Before I went to the Motor Vehicle Division, I waited for the delivery man to bring the office chair I bought yesterday.

Here it is:
