Dealership said the would handle switching the plates and registration, and didn't do it. I only found out when I went to renew my reg. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ReignOfTerror@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 child) You didn't find it weird that you never received any documents for the car in the mail for a YEAR? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago No I did find it weird. I also found it weird that my DMV has a 6 hr wait time, and I had other shit to do with my life. Plus, I don't really buy cars all that frequently, so I'm not exactly sure what to expect when the reg gets flipped over. It's not out of the question to assume that it was done online. I never even got temp plates, the dealership said it would be fine to use my old plates. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago I used to live in Louisiana and I drove there for three years with an expired out of state license plate and no insurance. Finally got pulled over, told the cops I just forgot about that stuff, and got off with a $125 ticket. If I'd had a bit more melanin I'd still be in Angola prison today. permalink fedilink source parent
