The DMV: A Place of Dreams and Nightmares
The Department of Motor Vehicles, or as we like to call it, the Devil's Magical Vortex, is a place where time stands still and patience goes to die. It's where you'll find people who look like they've been there since the dinosaurs roamed the Earth, and the lines are longer than the wait for the latest iPhone.
