1. I have work so I could afford it if
2. I wasn't running a duster currently getting 12 MPG
I don't see how you do it dan...
and Eric if YOU want to do it yourself it's been so long since titled that it won't be in record, just request one to yourself, and tell them you've been looking for it for a LONG time ;) and pay the $20 for it to be "put" in your name SHOULD work...(hasn't been titled in over 7 years and 3 is when they go out of the system)
if not I can do it,(because this is what I was going to have to do anyways) but if you want it gone quicker....

I have to go to the SOS on fri. to get plates for my bike and take the motorcycle test, so I could. do I just need the VIN off of it or what?

Because the gratification I get from driving mine far outweighs the 17 MPGs my Duster gets. Hopefully once I get it running right with the 2-bbl set-up I'll be getting ~19 MPGs.
Oh yeah, my car also has 3.55:1 gears in it too.
So 12 MPGs, you tell me. How do you do it Kevin?

just cut the damn thing in half and save the $20 and hassle of dealing with the SOS. it takes like what, 30-40 min max to cut some rusted already half broken shit in half with a saw or torch of some kind.

if you say tach, i'm gonna smack you with a large trout. if you knew how to drive a stick you know when to shift by the SOUND of the motor, not the tach.

John and I talked about him giving the club (the current at that time) scrap price for it so we could bypass getting the title.
Though hauling it out to Gwinn will cost the same as it will to haul it to A&L $14.00.
