Whilst Pit denizens bitch about the hoops ‘Jesus’ (here illegally from Mexico) must jump through, the former Peter Phillips (from Washington) is having a little trouble of his own with the West Virginia DMV

Do you see the (head) light?

They ask for legal proof of the name change, such as a marriage license. Apparently, this guy did not have proof.

Of course, when this all gets straightened out, he’ll be buying some really tricked-out, overpowered V8 with a wicked cool paint job.

You know. Jesus Christ’s Super Car.
