>Bought a parts car of same year (different VIN), stripped it & junked it.

>I told them I just bought the car and here is the title and plates.  When

>Are you keeping up?  *phew*
>Now I did have to pay tax on the title transfer, since it was seen as a new

>Rememeber to turn on the charm and play dumb if the DMV asks any questions.
