Oh yeah, last trip to a Cali dmv I spent an hour and a half in the line OUTSIDE the front door, waiting to get checked in. I think it was three hours total. Make's a AAA card a necessity for dmv service. Not a necessity where I am in Arizona. And all of my stuff here is registered for five years at a time, for less than one year in california. Smog check? HA! Nonexistent.
