I wrote this yesterday but didn't send it cause you sounded too down. But
it is important that people learn so the post follows:
Too bad that you paid the penalties already -- you didn't need to. I didn't
when I bought my california car that had not been registered for 7 years

to the Cal dmv site and search the tags for the number that yours was
(search in the personal license section) -- if available, then the car is
off the roles and you need not pay penalties (unless you mention it to the
clerk). Kim
