It is.  I just called the DMV last week.  Although they didn't seem to be fully aware of the regulations.  The lady I spoke to said that I didn't need to do anything else, just install it.  But someone I spoke to Friday indicated that you need to take your current registration and the YOM plate to the DMV and they fill out some duplicate registration form that makes it all legal.

I hope to do that this week. If I get any better info, I'll let you know.

How's the house closing progressing?

 :bananasmi: glad you gonna have your house and garage!

Thanks.  Forgot to clean out my PM.  It's less full now.

Hope to get to DMV some time this week.  Problem is they open at 8:00 and close at 4:30.  I work in Nashua from 7:00 to 5:00 or later.  I'll have to go in late one day, or leave early.

Simba's 3rd Birthday was yesterday. I had wanted to get him a nice hot wheels-scale garage or something like that, but the only one that I found that looked sturdy enough to survive him was (wait for it) $300, so that wasn't going to happen. So, I got him a bunch of little things, including some more cars, almost all Mopars, and what looked to be a very nice car hauler.

The car hauler was a bust, almost literally. Once we got the package open it became clear that this item was never meant to be a toy. It was, instead, meant to be displayed behind some glass somewhere. The bumper fell off almost immediately, the trailer wouldn't stay hitched, the sides were plastic, yadda yadda yadda.

Still, as you'll see below, the trailer carried a good message. Oh, whenever I give Simba a bunch of cars, he always favors the Challengers and Cudas. Told you he was smart  :bigsmile:

Hey, you kind hide that '70 Mustang he's playing with!  :nono:  :smilielol: 

Cool presents, I'm sure Simba really had fun with them! Yeah, little kids are the test of durability for toys!  :grinyes:

I still like car carriers, nice way to display some cool cars!

Yeah, the 4th car was a Mustang  :bigsmile: I couldn't find another cool Mopar for him. But between having a Challenger and a Superbird, and the Charger RT (which is really nice, BTW) I'm happy.

As for the car carrier...I'll keep a lookout for a better one. Better for play, that is. This one was fine for being a collector item, but no good whatsoever as a toy.

Ha!  Thanks for thinking of my car.  :)  I wonder how much it's worth?  Looks like it's in good shape.  I went through a phase looking for one on ebay.  Yours is in really nice shape. 

What it's worth on Ebay and how much it's worth to you are very different things.  Could be worth $40 or something on Ebay but priceless when you think of the memories it conjures.  :D

Is it more B5 or Petty blue?  :clueless:
