In CA, you need to have a horn that honks (in case you use your car for a driving test) and an anal probe, er, smog test every 2 years for registration renewals.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Howdy, So it looks like the ABS computer for my '93 325is w/o TC is '34 52 1 162 646', but the traction control computer is '34 51 1 091 035'... First, is that correct? I'm no master with the ETK... Second, does anyone know if the traction control computer would work with a non-traction control car? I'd tend to doubt it, since I think the traction control ABS cars are a four channel system vs. the 3 channel system in my non-TC car... Thanks!

And I can't just add her to the title either. Could I sell her the car for $100 and she would only have to pay tax on that ~ $5 or so. The car is still being financed, so I don't fully own it, but my bank is her bank, if that makes a difference. Or would she have to take out her own "car loan", buy the car to pay-off my loan, and we could put $100 on the bill of sale for the MVA? My suggestion was to run down to the courthouse - that didn't go over well.

The only time I haven't gotten queried about a $100 vehicle price was when it was an 87 Dodge K car.

Had a seal of one of the municipal services on the side (water, gas, etc.). How on earth do they keep these things running so long?
