...but nothing here states that any state's DMV/BMV is REQUIRED to allow you to license/register said ex-MV. The common perception that I interpret from all this is a belief that just because the Government or some entity can SELL you an ex-MV, that the government - whether local or Federal -...

You're more than welcome, Booger. 'Tanner'

Firstly, I don't call anyone a moron - these people do as they are instructed. And many rules/laws are written because - well, facve it - people are pretty effin' stupid animals.... witness the reason that Preparation H has a note on back stating: 'This product is not to be taken orally'...

I raised a rhetorical question - never said that this was a law. 'T'

And... misinformation continues being spread. Nader DIDN'T get the Corvair killed; never did, never could. GM had already decided in 1966 to start winding down the Corvair, due to the rise in popularity of the Ford Mustang & the impending arrival in 1967 of Chevrolet's own Camaro. Nader did...

Heath - I'm all for older vehicle ownership, but there's a bit of misquote in your comment above - The M151 MUTT wasn't pulled from potential civilian ownership because of it's perception as being a competitor to the sales of any civvy F150/Jeep/Bronco, it had EVERYTHING to do with the fact...

Curious - 63foxtrot - your info says that you are located in Los Angeles, CA, yet you're trying to get this HMMWV registered in AZ? Why? :popcorn: Will California DMV not let you register it there? 'Tanner'

:popcorn: Relative 'safety' of the M998 is not the issue. The Big problem with trying to register a 'wannabe soldier' M998 is that the VIN number doesn't contain 17 digits & doesn't come up in the computer systems. This throws DMV workers into convulsions... Similar situation occurs when same...

- and as such, said mil vehicles didn't have to comply with Civilian vehicle requirements. 'Tanner'

...the most important difference between the HMMWV & the H1 one is obvious - the H! was designed and certified for civilian use. It has the proper provenance from the Feds at the EPA/NHTSA/DOT that ALLOW it to be registered. 'Tanner'

Funny, isn't it? If the law/rule/regulation/etc., states 'don't register an HMMWV', then what is so hard to understand? :lol: 'Tanner'

Copy of letter from AM General to Connecticut DMV - this basic letter has 'supposedly' been sent to the DMV's in all 50 states... http://olive-drab.com/images/AMG_letter000314.jpg 'Tanner'

If one DMV office in the state can overrule the ruling of another DMV office in the same state, they why the &$*% would the state set laws/rules making the HMMWV unregisterable?? :cookoo: 'Tanner'

Because the H1 came through specific design channels & had changes made to it that appeased the Feds from the get-go... the H1 cannot be compared to the HMMWV, as even though ~ 99% of the parts are the same, AM General never had the HMMWV certified by the Feds for road use after the military was...

The imported Nissan Skyline R33/34's NEVER met regs established by the EPA/DOT/NHTSA... ever. Guys tried to bring them in on the coattails of the R32's that were converted by a couple Federally-certified importers - and the Feds have been scooping up/impounding/crushing the illegal Skylines...

The vehicles were designed from the beginning as being FOR MILITARY USE. The intention was not that they would later be sold for civvy use. 'Tanner'
