Problems getting rid of car in California?
September 4, 2010, 3:45 amWe have a '95 Ford Escort wagon with transmission problems that aren't worth the cost to us to repair. In the transmission's present condition, the car is, for all practical purposes, undriveable. The car is registered in California. We are looking for best options to get rid of it, if possible, making a bit of money along the way (either as a charitable donation or cheap sale), but the goal is to be free and clear of the car one way or the other. We have no interest in putting any more money into it. The problem is that the California Vehicle Code seems to offer no title transfer options that relieve the seller of its obligation to perform a smog check. The car is registered as "non-operational", has not been smogged in three years. Car donation groups typically obligate the donor to have the car smogged. California suspended its retirement program recently, so we can't simply ask the state to take it away. So it seems there's no way to get rid of the car unless it's smogged first, but we can't get the car smogged because it's undriveable. Any ideas for helping us break this vicious cycle will be appreciated. -

PETER HITCHENS: These beggars are not helpless casualties - as my black eye proves
August 24, 2010, 2:39 amFew things are more wicked than the sort of begging we see so much of today – men who are fit to work, raising money for drugs. They are not helpless casualties. -

August 23, 2010, 5:08 amMy husband and I want to share our disappointment with this years "Cruisin' New Milford" car show. The concept of the car show (which was held on The Green last year) was to draw attention to our beautiful downtown area and our small local businesses on The Green.
