Was really tempted, but after more than a dozen trips and being a fairly small town, everyone at the DMV now knows me and my situation. I was told that this wouldn't be much of an issue in many states but NY is very strict, and I would have to replicate a stamp from Upzy as well. I also read that getting caught doing it myself would be a felony - not something I really want to risk over a $1400 purchase.
Luckily, the title bureau seems to have a way - I just have to get around to sending certified letters and wait for the lack of response. Would be funny if they actually do respond with more nonsense... I wonder what that would count as?
Anyone want to take bets on what happens?
