    How does the government notice such transactions, unless someone takes the title to the Secretary of State office to get it transferred into their own name? Even then, there's no proof of monetary transaction, since you aren't required to show them any bill of sale. What if you want to give the car away? Do they still assume that you're making money on it? It sounds like guilty until proven innocent, instead of the other way around.
    The following are all automatic, unless otherwise specified or not specified, because no automatic was available. These are the cars driven:

    '56 Chevy Bel-Air 4-door sedan; Red and white; 265 two barrel; AM radio

    Either a '66 or '68 (I'm looking it up) Austin Morris 1800 4-speed
    '67 Tempest ohc six one barrel; three on the tree turned floor shift
    '70 Hornet 2-door, previously mentioned
    '70 Corolla 2-door 4-speed

    There must be another thread similar to this one somewhere else on the forum. I thought for certain I had posted in one like this previously, but it appears I haven't contributed to this thread.

    Here's what I have owned, more specifically, what I have had titled in my name. They are listed in chronological order.

    1964 Ford Econoline pickup. Bought when I was 12 years old at a school auction. Sold it before I ever drove it.
    1964 Plymouth Fury 9 passenger wagon - Grandpa's car, still own.
    1987 Ford Ranger 2wd
    1981 Ford F-100 short box stepside
    1983 Ford Mustang GT
    1978 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT
    1993 Ford F-150 super cab 4X4
    1993 Buick LeSabre
    1994 Ford Exploader
    1978 Ford F-250 Crew Cab
    1995 Ford Taurus
    1999 Mercury Sable
    1987 Ford Ranger 4X4
    1996 Ford F-350 Powerstroke Crew Cab 4X4 -current DD
    2004 Ford Escape
    2006 Ford Freestyle (I consider it a wagon) wife's current DD
    1969 Ford F-100 -Grandpa's truck, still own

    I have been the "caretaker" of others. But these are what I have owned.

    I think, yellerspirit started that thread you're referring to. If I'm not mistaken, there's also a "Wagon's you've owned" thread out there also

    That was awesome!!! I’ve long lost my interest in guns but those Barrett’s are cool. Not so cool when your sitting in a lawn chair resting on a fold out table but still cool. I wonder if that pop up tent is military issue? What do those guns run??? Like $10,000?! What a total waste of money...

    What he's got is overkill. Get yourself a .357 Magnum. It'll kill an engine block. In fact, go right through. I'm glad to know I've revived your long lost interest in guns. It's not everyday that I get to do a good deed

    way off topic! but

    Only into shotguns, had 8 - gave most away to the kids, brother this past Christmas, 1 pump, 1 sxs and 6 o/u's
    Winchester 21 sxs - brother, this and the Mossberg belonged to my dad, Winchester 21 is really expensive to buy today
    Mossberg pump - brother
    T. Ferney o/u - son in law
    Fabarm o/u - daughter
    C. Daly gold engraved, superior o/u - son
    B.Rizzini o/u - daughter in law
    I kept the C Daly field gun, dad gave to me 40 years ago, and a C. Guerini o/u

    all in all probably gave away $18,000 (Winchester was $8,000 of it)worth of guns, cases, and access. - before I decided to do that - was seriously thinking of selling them all, and the Colony Park and getting a "somewhat" restored 50's Colony Park.
    But totally surprised the kids, they had no idea I had these and were thrilled, felt better than a car for me.

    Besides, an armed to the gills family is a peaceful family, just like international families function. Take the U.S. and Soviet Union, back then. Since they both had nukes, both remained peaceful. China, Pakistan and India, also. It was only the nukeless countries that were getting invaded, back then

    Here's an Opel 1.2 which is basically the same. When I first saw one of those, I wasn't sure if it was an F-head (overhead intake valves and in-block exhaust valves. In other words, a half flathead)

    That valve cover looks similar anyway. Pretty sure mine was a regular OHV engine. 1.1L, twin carbs, 67hp. The little GT would do 100 mph anyway.

    I saw one the other day at the body shop, sure did look tiny!

    Updating my list, the Austin Morris 1800 was a '68 model and the solid Toyota wagon was an '83. I had an '89 Fiat UNO and an '80 VW Passat 4-door hatchback in my name. Both were simply vehicles I put in my name, because my wife just got her license, beginning with UNO ownership. We had the Passat some time before that. Thus, it would have been expensive for her to insure. But, I couldn't really consider them my cars. Both were cars a friend of the family and the brother in law (Passat) gave up. The Passat was interesting, being such a big car with a small unusually powerful engine, for a carbureted vehicle.
    I also had a Datsun 610 2-door, I almost forget about. More of them might flash back, sooner or later
