Yup,everything Don has said applies in Missouri too... And you better have every i dotted. Long long drawn out,over complicated process around here.
Last one I had to deal with I finally gave up and ate it.Luckily it was only a few hundred out of pocket in parts. Heck of it was the local authorities said it would be illegal for me to send it to the salvage yard just to get it out of here. I did finally get the satisfaction of having the tow company park it in his front yard blocking the front porch while he was at work. Cost me a $50 tow bill and worth every penny....
