Ok, so today we went back to the car place over on T-Dock to pick up the car.  To buy the car, you actually go to ACE Hardware and pay the cashier - like you're buying groceries or something.  Then, you take the receipt (and the car) to the police station.  There are these guys (picture in t-shirts, board shorts and flip-flops) hanging  out at the police station that do a little inspection of the car - which I captured some of that on video as it was just hilarious to watch.  I really don't know what they were looking for, but I'm pretty sure all cars pass this ‘inspection'. 

Then you go to Koror State - the capitol building.  Find the nice lady behind the glass and tell her you just bought a car - she collects $35 and gives you a sticker - you know, just like in the US - the registration tags.  Then, you go to the National Treasury and offer them $75 and I think all you get from that is a little receipt saying you paid it.  Then, you go back to the inspectors and talk to the lady inside, who promptly types up your registration card to be kept in your car.  The inspectors, meanwhile, put your new license plate with stickers on the car, but there are no screws, so you have to buy them from them for a $1.  Ha!  Two screws for a dollar! 

Whatever, the car is ours now and legal - there is no insurance or anything like that, so we're now set.  Overall, the process is probably quicker than in the US, since we completed the entire transaction in less than 2 hours.  In the US, you can spend more than that amount of time just at the dealer trying to buy the car and sign all the papers!  Here, you walk away with your plates, tags and registration card and no waiting for it to come in the mail.  Here are a couple of pictures of the car.
