Potential new atom buyer question

[mbindra]

Hello All,

Why is it seemingly taboo to exchange info on this board about registering an Atom for street use?  I am seriously considering one but I need info on getting the car on the road in Massachusetts.  Any suggestions?  Has anyone in Massachusetts done this yet?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

The reason is that many states are touchy when it comes to registering cars like the Atom. Many of us have had to call in favors, cajole, or rely on the ignorance of DMV personnel to get the car registered. By sharing secrets/tricks in public, we risk closing the loopholes and shutting out other Atom owners.

Also, each state is different, so we are each on our own anyway.....

Bottom line: if you want an Atom, do the leg work in advance to know if you can get it registered. Or you can just wing it, order the car and hope for the best when it gets to your door

Only kidding- registering an atom for street use has been accomplished in a number of states. When you get over 50 posts you can access the relevant section.

Well I guess I better get posting then!  Thanks for the responses guys... anyone know of a successful registration in MA?

The list of successful states is on this thread named "State Registration FAQ / Info".

Bad form cshama, that is kept quiet for a reason.... (fight club rules apply). We don't need people spamming this forum for this specific reason. I am moving the thread.

Maybe we need to bump it to the next level 1000 posts or more....

Geez, I better get to thinking fast......now what can I write about???????????

It was a joke.

Hint at people asking questions like this to "participate". Never quote the number. That just defeats the purpose of keeping the info private. Alternatively they can just join the club.

Better yet, push them tothis threadand play dumb. All States where people want their info known are shown there.
