Slapped Again

Here is a tale from the Bangor Show that continued into Burlington and proves that some State Employees couldn't find their ass with both hands.

A car Owner came up to me in Bangor when he saw me looking over his drop dead gorgeous 41 Willys/ Pro-Street /Street Rod. We struck up a conversation and after a period of time, I noticed his registration Plates were not Street Rod plates or Antique plates, but Custom plates.

His story is this, the BMV told him it was a custom because it was a fiber/composite body and age had nothing to do with. After double checking with the State Police and the Sec. of States office, the BMV adamantly told him it was indeed a Custom Automobile and needed to be registered as such.

You all know as well as I do that a Custom Vehicle is 1949 and up to 1979 (rolling 30year) either modified original or a composite facsimile/replica. As I stated before this was a 1941 Willys Composite Body Street Rod on a Street Legal Drag Racing Frame.

This is what our Tax Dollars pay for. Departments that do not communicate with each other in any form other than political speeches and more ineptitude and incompetence other than the Minions of Baldy we elected. Evidently we don't require a reading exam to be employed with the State of Maine.
