Basically, I have to assemble this trailer, get it to a special inspection site, pay a whole lotta money for the special inspection (quotes are ranging from $70-$220), haul the trailer away, get down to PennDOT and submit the inspection results and pay title and registration fees, wait 2-5 weeks for a license plate to show up, and only then is it legal to actually hook up to my car and start towing crap.
