• Can I get a definitive answer? Please?

  I've been researching the procedures for aquiring Washington tags for our vehicles. In all honesty, I think I'd rather just end up with expired tags. No really. I ran around in circles today even after having called the tag joint to get the information. Then I had to wade through the 330pm traffic on I-5 to some remote/shipping-yard-esque area to have an emmissions test done for my car. I wait in line...and then I am told that since my car is only an 06 that I have no reason for an emmissions test.

  Uh...wait...the other lady said I needed one. Can someone please get this right?! Then I get to the tag joint where I'm told they only take cash and that since my Power of Attorney is only for our truck that I will have to pay the regular rate, as opposed to the "discounted" Active Duty Military rate. She seemed pretty adamant about not telling me what the price difference was, so I just paid the damn money. $130 later I still have to have holes drilled into my car to affix the front tag & its holder to my car.

  Even after all this debautchery, I find that I may have to have an emmissions test done because of a certain local policy. Oh, and I was first told about the truck that I didn't need an emissions test, then that I did need one, and then finally I had to ask for a definitive answer on that. Really? Don't you people get trained with the laws/codes/ordinances? Seriously? So I'm still not quite sure if the truck needs one or not. And with my luck, I'll end up on another wild goose chase for gettings tags for the truck. Which also needs holes drilled into the front of it....and I need to find a tag mount for it. ugh....

  I'm really annoyed with the whole process right now. I'm so over this state. When can we go back to someplace normal on the East Coast? People don't hug trees there or make me have two tags.
