Well, after a brief legal battle with the clerk of courts, it looks like I'll be getting a title for my 1977 Cruising Wagon. I've been dealing with this for a few months, most of which was waiting time, but it seems to finally be winding down. I thought about sending the clerk of courts a horse's head a la the Godfather (which would be appropriate in a twisted way, it is a Pinto...) but the lack of horses prevented that. So....I took a piece out of an old chess set and mailed him that instead. Anyway, I'll be getting the title soon and putting the car up for sale. I just wanted to let everyone know that it is possible to force a title out of the system, even in Ohio!
hahahaha, I like the chess piece thing! Also, good for you on the title, as I have had my fair share of DMV battles here in Ohio. Have you ever heard the Primus song about the BMV?? If not you should check it out, pretty well sums it up. ;D
Don't know the Primus song, can you post a link? Anyone who can tilt at the BMV is my kind of person!
The letter came in the mail, the clerk of courts has bowed to my "authority" and I'll be getting my Cruising Wagon titled tomorrow at 8am. For once it should be fun going out to see these people, the lady in the title office was more on the unpleasant side and not at all helpful the last time I was there. I bet if I threw a bucket of water on her she'd melt...but tomorrow a Pinto comes back into the herd!

here is the youtube link for the video. and here are the lyrics, funny, but true!
"DMV"
I've been to hell. I spell it...I spell it DMV
Anyone that's been there knows precisely what I mean
Stood there and I've waited and choked back the urge to scream
And if I had my druthers I'd screw a chimpanzee-call it pointless
When I need relief I spell it THC
Perhpas you may know vaguely what I mean
I sit back and smoke away huge chunks of memory
As I slowly inflict upon myself a full lobotomy-call it pointless
Barbecues, tea kettles, gobs of axle grease
There comes a time for every man to sail the seas of cheese
Now, life's a bowl of bagel dogs, but there are unpleasantries
Cold toilet seats, dentist chairs and trips to DMV-call it pointless
I've been to hell. I spell it...I spell it DMV
Anyone that's been there knows precisely what I mean
I've stood in line and waited near an hour and fifteen
And if I had my druthers I'd screw that chimpanzee-call it pointless
