    Yes, Tybee, I guess (and I really hope!) DH would get in no trouble if he were stopped with Jersey plates because my son is the owner and he lives in NJ. He's a lawyer, and he wouldn't do anything illegal to jeopardize his job, so I'm assuming he knows what he's doing. That's why he filed the registration with himself as the owner and DH as the operator.

    Personally I'm borderline comfortable with the arrangement because if DH gets into an accident, my son is involved as the insured.

    That sounds really reasonable and if your son is a lawyer, he would know how to do it legally. That's neat. My husband was worried about his truck's rust this year but they passed it. I hate the yearly inspection, b ut on the other hand, they found a brake leak on mine and now it's fixed, so that's pretty cool. Maybe I like the inspections?

    Okay---I've been saving my 1989 S 10 out back for many years. Had 'er since 2001, when I bought 'er at the wreckin' yard. Only 127,000 actual miles. Wouldn't start the other daty, so I pulled the bed, pulled the tank & fuel pump and pump hanger and replaced them, brand new. Yup. Think what a REAL 'chanic shop would charge for all that! But yeah---It runs, now, so I'ma gonna pull 'er in the shop and do a FULL rehab & refurb on 'er, and license insure & drive it. Yup. I shudder to think what the payments would be on an enormous monster truck. Hope that helpsa you kids some. Thankk mee.
