I posted the story of the Texas Registration Process over on Isuzu Zone. Thought I'd share the tale with ya"ll.
This picture was taken last Friday after I got home with it.

It took about 15 minutes to get the thing inspected and registered.

Here is the entire gut wrenched Saga?

10 miles to town.

I went to the first inspection station I usually use, with my I Mark setting cozily on the trailer. He's too busy and suggests I try the guy down the road.
So, I pull into the Kwick Lube cause they have more than one inspection dude, I'm told.
I don't even get time to get out of the truck and the Manager walks up to my Truck window and says" Need the car inspected?"
(ME) Uh, Yea!

"Well, the main Inspection Dude will back in a minute, so go ahead and take it off the trailer."
(ME) Uh??? OK!

I am backing off the trailer and as soon as all four wheels touch the ground the old guy (Inspection Dude) walks up and says, ôNice car, I'm ready".
(ME) Uh? Cool! Careful with the brakes, they're real touchy!

Off he goes around the building. 10 seconds later he pulls into the inspection bay. I mention I just got this converted to diesel. He says, "Nice"
The Manager asks me to step in the Office to do the paperwork. (He wants my paper money ($15.50)) So I do. All of 5 minutes and the old guy comes into the Office and says, "All ready"
(ME) Uh, Cool!

I load it back on the trailer and head to the DMV. (Literally, 6 blocks up the street.)
Walk in and the lady behind the counter, down at the end, says,ö Can I help you down here?
(ME)Uh, Kay! I need to register this car!

All right, let me have the proof if insurance, and the original Title.
(ME) Uh, Ok here, By the way it's now a diesel.

Lady says "How about filling out this paperwork where I've circled the lines you need to do?

Uh, OK, (5 circles on the page) Name, Address, Signature, Print Signature, and price I paid for the car. Honestly that's it!!!!

She looks at the paper I just filled out and types a minute, while answering the phone, and says to me "That will be $134. Please.
UH, OK, Here are 7- $20's.

Fine, hereÆs your change Sir. And here are your plates and registration papers. The title will be mailed to your home in about 4 to 5 weeks. Ya'll have a nice day.: (paperwork she hands me says "engine: diesel")

Uh, Cool! this is a great day! I walk out to my Dodge with the I Mark still setting on the trailer. All legal and ready to go.

No kidding 15 maybe 20 minutes in town and I'm headed home. All done.
It took longer to unload and load the trailer than it did for the entire process.
Man I love living in the Country here in Podunk Texas!
