OT : DROID DNA by HTC

[Dazed_75]

Whatever you call them, the DMV experience in AZ used to be awesome and
provided top notch customer service.  Then the budget crunch came along and
the state decided to close most or all of it's own offices and farm the
work out to private companies which only care about making a few buck off
us and customer service is now a joke.
