content: So I decided after living in Arizona for almost three months, it was probably time to go register my car and get a driver's license. I went the day after Thanksgiving at about 3 pm. I had to have an out-of-state inspection...this was quick and easy and I got to stay sitting in my car. Sweet! \n\nI brought a book and was prepared to wait a long time once I got inside, but was pleasantly surprised when I was immediately given a number and it was called before I could even sit down. I was done with registering my car in about less than 10 minutes, which was awesome. Too bad it cost me a freaking arm and leg to register it...$286 for one year?? I vowed right there to never complain about Ohio's $55 annual fee ever again.\n\nUnfortunately, the computers were down that day and I couldn't get my license.  I will say that all of the workers I encountered were very nice and helpful, which was nice because I work in state government myself, so I know it can make you bitter and jaded.\n\nThe two strikes against the Tempe MVD are: \n*the guy who registered my car called me \""Sweetie\"" numerous times. He was probably around 37, so it creeped me out.\n\n*No Saturday hours. WTF? Thank goodness I bailed out of work early so I could take car of this little matter and still make it home in time to see the end of the LSU game.
