They probably thought you tawk funnee and if ya said "you all" .... well that sealed the deal
. I think all of the DMV offices are outsourced now.... and Statesville is "big city" .... next time let yer cuzin' Bubba take the car to Hendersonville... say "yes ma'am" and y'all and tawk slower
.
I bought my '88 in NJ and had no issues here fwiw....
Signed....
Bubba
