Oh Normannn... you don't need a stump if you push 'em up to the edge of a wash, they just instinctively back up!

Sick! Sick! Sick!
Lenny,
If I got it straight they want 1.75% of $1495.00 or $24. This fee covers the privilege of bringing a retail item priced more than $1000 from Phoenix a few blocks away to Mesa? Or does it cover a motor vehicle purchase only?
Since registering it was what brought this on this punishment, is it possible to register it in a place where you might have a contact address?
Some folks in Tucson were using Green Valley and Arivaca and other county/ small town addys when they registered their vehicles. This was done to bypass stringent emissions requirements. Maybe Janet Napolitano's henchmen at DMV have already put an end to that practice.
I hate to say it, but that Whizzer sounds jinxed and might need a spiritual cleansing from a local brujo.
