I fully agree. I was 25-26 at the time, and not quite as aware of the steps as I should have been. These days, things are different. Sins of the past.

That's pretty cool, actually. Makes it a heck of a lot easier.

I might just look into that. Thanks, Alex.

Calif dmv says seller must file for missing title. Nevada dmv says no way will they touch it. eBay first says no help due to age of vehicle over ten years. Then they say they will kick him off eBay, they didn't, and will pay 300 bucks for bonded title. It's 6 months, no title, HOA going crazy, pick n pull won't even take it.

To be honest, I'm not sure. His family in Alabama and mine aren't on great speaking terms. My father was his adoptive son, so naturally that means he doesn't count in terms of anything of his parents'. People do some awful things when a loved one dies. Glad the truck was done while he was still alive.

I'm considering that. It's kind of been helpful to have it on the back burner. Not accumulating a bunch of mileage and wear/tear and since I'm not hurting for a vehicle, I can take my time and do what I really want to do, not what I have to do right now. Still sucks, all the stuff involved with it, anyways.
