Sure, just so long as nobody reports the thread to the feds, everyone's okay. Truth is, sometimes it takes a little creativity to keep an old car legal, one way or another. Paper trails, emissions, ..... C'est la vie

Another idea...
Years ago I have an Rx2 in Cali that I could not get smogged. So, I unscrewed the vin plate (yes it is just screwed down) and swapted it with plates to another car that has smog eqp. I took it in and got it smogged. Then swapted the vin and license plates back.
Just maybe, ytou could find a good running Rx2 in your areas, swap plates and title the other car with you numbers. Well, it is just a thought.

well jsut talked to the Washington DVM, sia dwas supprized the car was still in there records. Cars usually drop off after 5-6 years with being updated. Mine has been over 7, Lucky me. So I will give it another week, to try and contact the old owner, and if that doesnt work i will try other solutions.

I will not be able to get a valid title for this car, so as I said above I
will, either, hopefully get a different title and vin for the car;Sell it as
is, or part the sob out. SO that being said I will get more pics up on
this site asap as well as the vintage rotaries site and the ausrotaries
site. thanks for all your support guys. and I hope I can help some
of you out. Lates matt22

Grey areas, silver areas, or charcoal areas, what ever... I was pleased to keep driving the old car and no one got hurt. The shop I went to was pretty busy and may have just been luck that they did not look at the other places where the vin number was stamped.
It was jus a thought...
I too will be trying how to get paperwork on my lastest Rx2.
Good luck
