Ongoing issue...registration. It is a CA car, with CA smog, bought from Illinois but delivered and sold as new here in CA. But somewhere things got muddled and I now have a sub-30 day IL sticker but must somehow register it here. Exact procedure to be discovered by Andy at great expense to his personal time. My question is, for anyone who has done courtesy delivery in CA, what was your registration experience? Did you drive away from the dealer with CA registration as if you had bought any other car off the lot?

- All of my performance cars have been named after dragons. Tiamat (2003 M5), Ancalagon (540iT), Scatha (Z4MC) and now Glaurung. In this case the car is named after the "first" or "father" dragon in Tolkien's Middle Earth mythology. Ironically I ordered the ZTK package and Glaurung was a wingless dragon, but whatever - the name suits the car. es.
My wife named ours "Mr. Sparkles".

-The hood does look different from most angles, very slightly different. BUT from angles where the light hits the hood's slope and the adjacent panel's slope at the same angles they DO look the same. So either there is no actual difference in the paint and it's all caused by the paint hue shifting due to the angle of reflection...or there is a minute difference but it's impossible to tell for sure because of the different angles of the panels. I suspect the former.
