I have a big favor to ask of you folks. If you have sucessfully registered an Atom, can you PM me a picture (or link to a picture) of your Atom with a license plate on it?

I am making a case to the NJ MVC (what we call the DMV here) to allow Atoms to be registered, and I am meeting with the top dozen or so people in the MVC to go over my car. Any evidence I can show them that Atoms are being registered in other states would go a long way to help ensure that NJ becomes an Atom-friendly state.

If you can help and haven't already contacted me about this, please do so - either by the board's PM function or to terry+atom@tmk.com.

This means you California people! That State's requirements likely carries more weight than ANY other.

Good luck Terry. I did the whole train of thought on the process in the other post in the Clubroom...

Maybe these'll help:

Voila

Another.

Good luck Terry, may the force be with you........................

Unfortunately, the MVC rejected my Atom, basically saying that the collector car exemptions didn't exist. I am pursuing one or two additional ideas, but at the moment it doesn't look good.  I want to offer my deepest thanks to everyone who provided plate pics or other support during this process. Unfortunately, the DMV wasn't interested in what other states had registered Atoms. They didn't even want the car started - it was rejected by just sitting there.

What a terrible disappointment that must be for you.  Sorry to hear it.

Thanks. It turns out the DMV didn't care about what other states did, however.

Move to another state? Or even Europe? 

I'd find out what the proof of residency requirements are for another state.  Might be as simple as renting an apartment for a month or two.  Worth a try anyway.

I'm still trying to get a way to register Atoms in NJ (to help other owners as well). Right now I have retained an attorney who is working on it.
