[TR] VIN stamping

[Ron Olds]

North Carolina is quite an interesting experience.  To get a title for an car it must be inspected by a state police vehicle inspector who does know what he is talking about.  If he doesn't accept the car you will not even get a title.

As if an inspector ever came near my cars.  LOL.  Even when I brought in a Caterham Seven from Wisconsin, they just accepted the New-Hampshire-issued ID number from the Wisconsin title.  Nobody ever saw if there even *was* a car...

As you say, states differ.
