It pays (I mean, I pay) to be honest in CA

I finally got around to getting my car registered today. 31 days after taking delivery. Did all the right stuff, good smog check, clean title, honest about the price I paid on the bill of sale, honest about the date I took delivery. I knew the joy of 9.25% tax was looming. When the nice gentleman rang up my bill, he said there was $250 in late charges because I waited longer than 20 days to get the registration done :eek::bawl Yikes, $1,832 later and I'm legal in CA!



Just had to share my pain...
