Registering

[fatmac99@mindspring.com]

Has anyone ever registered their car in the state of GEORGIA? I recently
found out my Amphi is registered as a horse trailer. It is hard to tell
from the cards given out, with all the abbreviations. No one knows how to
change it. No one seems to believe it is just an automobile, and that's how
I want it registered.

I'm not worried about the title. A car that old doesn't even need a title,
which annoys me but hey I'm in the south, lots of things annoy me here. So
if anyone in GA can shed some light as to how their car is registered,
please let me know. By the way, does anyone have a horse trailer they tried
taking swimming?

Hi Mike,

I'm sure each state varies immensely. Here in CA the DMV has a very nice web
site containing rules, regs and forms for vehicles and boats. Forms
for duplicate title and statement of facts sounds like what you need. A vehicle
inspection would be necessary here. Could be done by a police
officer if the car cannot be driven to the DMV. I've learned that the key
phrase to register an Amphicar here is "dual" registration. I'd say it's
also a requirement to bring in pictures of an Amphi in the water. Maybe, just
maybe, they will then understand what you're talking about. Of
course, you're in GA, your mileage may vary.
