[s-cars] Crap, I gotta sell

[Steve Marinello]

Actually, one thing was nagging me and I just remembered...didn't you 
say that it was once registered in Texas?  Can you get hold of that 
registration?  There are some unusually lenient reciprocity 
agreements/understandings out there.

If it needs getting sold, Texas also becomes a possibility if it's been 
here once.  Oh yeah...I live in Houston now!
