the oregon dmv people are so great! after reading the "welcome to oregon" page, i called them to verify the steps and ask some questions. someone answered the first ring! it absolutely floored me! and she was friendly and helpful! then i called the department of environmental quality to ask them a question, and they answered the first ring too, with someone also friendly and helpful. then i called dmv again, and another equally helpful & friendly person answered. i have no idea what they pay these people, but they're worth every penny!
the only sadness is that the registration fee is $30 more for a hybrid than any other type of car. :P and the fact that because i have a loan, i have to completely rely on toyota financial services to get my paperwork to oregon in a timely fashion. i wish i had done this three weeks ago; i hope my karma holds out long enough to get the plates.
