The "dim bulbs" in Sacramento once sent me a notice that I had to have a smog certificate on a car that I brought in from out of state before they would register the car. I had to go to the highway patrol to get a verification that the car was too old to smog. Then when the registration issue on the certificate was resolved they sent me the new ownership certificate and the VIN number was wrong. Had to make a second trip to the highway patrol to get the correct VIN verified. Not all DMV employees are bad, but we do encounter more than our fair share of lame bureaucrats.
