->I went to transfer a tag (license plate to you
->yankees and Canadians) from our dead Omni to a newer vehicle we acquired and
->was told that the state "preferred" that I sell the Omni
before transferring

That is weird.  Even Massachusetts, bastion of liberalism and red tape,
has a transfer procedure.  It's used commonly for a winter car/summer car
situation.  I have to wonder if there's some thought to preventing junk
cars from accumulating?  And heck, you could always sell it to Linda.

->Stoopid stuff...

Always..  You should have seen the hoops I had to jump through to
register the AMC.  In the end, all I needed was a copy of the
previous Rhode Island registration.  RI doesn't require titles for
cars over about 15 years old.  So, in lieu of a title, a copy of
the old registration was required.  I went to the RI registry, paid
some nominal sum, and got the copy.  The previous owner didn't have
anything to do with it.

As you said, stoopid stuff.
