Having to go all the way there, take a ticket, and wait for what feels like forever for a piece of paper is exhausting. Well... that's changing. A new Nevada DMV online service called Rapid Registration is hoping to keep you home.
Rapid Reservation is a service that they initially tested out of a few locations in the valley. You would have to go into the DMV to pick up your plates and registration (and drop off your cash). Now it has expanded. The Nevada DMV online service is simple enough. Go to the website, register and do what you gotta do. Then you'll slide into the DMV to just pick up your stuff and you're good to go. No grabbing a ticket and waiting for over an hour. Here for it.
Here's a look at the situations where the Nevada DMV online service can help you today:
- New residents can use their out of state registration or title to get right in Nevada
- New vehicle purchases
- Private Party with a lienholder - you'll need an agreement from the lienholder.
- Private Party - title needs to be in your name
- Gifted - title needs to be in your name
- Out-Of-State Dealer - you'll need the purchase and sales agreement.
The Future Looks Bright For Nevada DMV Online Service
While this isn't perfect, the Nevada DMV says be patient.
Soon you'll be able to get online vehicle titles. One less thing to worry about. And the end goal is to keep you home throughout the process. Pay online, plates and registration delivered.
The less we have to see that place the better, and it is obvious the feeling is mutual. Maybe now all the people driving around without plates will get on it.
Naming Your Car Means You Love It: 10 Popular And Fun Car Names
The "Electric Blue Bomb." That was what I named my first car.
Naming Your Car Is Very Personal And Also Very Fun
The Electric Blue Bomb. It was a used 1972 electric blue Mustang 2 Hatchback, with manual transmission. No AC, but it did have an 8-track player. I had to keep a matchbook in it for it to work, of course, but it was great. Very high tech!
I taught dozens of people how to drive a "stick" in my Electric Blue Bomb. To this day those old high school pals remind of this whenever we get together. It's a fun memory that I will truly cherish forever. And yes - I can still drive a manual transmission, and still teach anyone.
I would also pile people in the hatchback to go to lunch, the drive-in - a party at Julie's house - wherever we needed to be.
What To Consider When Picking Out A Name For Your Car
Does your car not have a name? Why? It's apparently a sign of love. A poll literally found that people who love their car are more likely to name it
49% of people who have a car they love have given it a name. That's compared to 20% of people who just kind of "like" their car, and 14% who really don't like their car.
The poll found the #1 thing we consider when naming our car is its "personality." Make and model is next, followed by how it performs.
1. Personality: What is the feel of your car, and the essence of that ride.
2. Make and model: Someone named their Kia Forte "Will"- after Will Forte.
3. How it performs. Is it fast? Perhaps Zippy," or "Bolt," or "Jet."
Need some ideas on what to name your car? Men and women have different favorites, but there's definitely a name for every car- just like kids.
Here are some of the most popular, and fun car names for 2024. Although, all of them could probably also work for baby names.
1. Shadow
If you have a black, or charcoal car, this seems to be a popular name.

2. Snowball
Yes, the complete opposite of "Shadow." I have a white car. I love "Snowball," but I went with "Betty White."

3. Ruby
Do you have a red car? "Ruby" is a perfect name. I had a friend back in college who named her red car "rhubarb." Cute and catchy for a little red VW bug.

4. Betsy
Still driving that old, reliable station wagon from back in the day? Or maybe that Land Cruiser is still getting you around town. "Betsy" is a great name for that old, reliable vehicle. Rusty and Trusty also work.

5. Gizmo
Is your car filled with high tech? Self-driving? Self-parking? Then "Gizmo" might be the name for your car. Although I think I would go with "Jetson" or "Rosie." Cartoon kids get it.

6. Tank
"TANK!" The name pretty much says it all. Durable, indestructible, and can withstand a whole lot.

7. Sir Honksalot
Just a fun name. And if your car is a fun car, you have to go with a fun name.

8. Speedy McSpeedface
This one might be taken wrong. however, it's another fun name for a fun car.

9. Gassy Gus
Do you have a gas guzzler - or an SUV? Then this might be the car name for you! If so, I'm sorry...

10, Aurora
The Roman goddess of dawn. A beautiful name for a car that’s a joy to get into, and drive, each and everyday! Or - just "Joy."
