Can't you send him a letter by registered mail and if he doesn't respond in 30 days, the state issues a title to you automatically?

That's how Virginia works, I think. Tow yards do it all the time.

At 16mpg I really did not go that far. Like 320 miles round trip. But there are several reasons that I did it.

Help out a fellow 7 owner, He needed the car gone.
We met in Greensboro and I have a cousin in a rest home out there, we had not been to see her sence our son was born, so two birds, one stone.
Got a good deal on it.
I buy, sale, and part, so inventory is good to have.

Want to buy a Car?

Took it out for just a moment when unloading it and then had enought time on that sunday to move it around in the yard. I still need to unload all the parts out of it.

I have 3 extra moonroofs, but I think they're hard to pack and ship anywhere, but especially to Canada.
