So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

So I've gotta get my RX-7 out of the autoshop by like next week, and its got 10 year old tabs, so i've gotta get the title transferred. However, im not 18 yet, and I KNOW my mom wouldn't take another car in her name (my 2, sisters, hers). So I'm thinkin about having my very good friend transfer it into his name since he's 18, and then once I'm 18 he'll transfer it to me. Why? I'm not trying to spend money on towing, since I live far away, and I worked my ass off to get it running again so I wanna drive it pretty bad. Of course I'll have a contract with my friend, but he's seriously the most trustworthy guy I've ever met.

So uh, does this sound like a plan? I'm not 18 for another week, but I want to get it out of the shop already. And the last time we drove it down the street and back, he flipped a bitch and took my keys for the rest of the day.. but it was kind of open downpipe and backfiring "like bombs going off under the car" >:D

shut the ---- up and wait till you turn 18.

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

Why do you need to get it transfered? Who's name is it in? Why can't you just drive it? ???

its still in the dude who use to own its name, he brought it to the school for his neice to fix and work on, and become her car, but her parents wont let her drive such a cool sports car, so i'm "buying" (?) it for free. can't drive it cuz it needs new tabs and new plates. thank god its too old for emissions though. i'm getting the title from him later today or tomarrow

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

just drive it with your friend driving behind you ::)

i bought my car and drove it from chicago to detroit with no tabs or plates :P

and my cousin bought his car from battle creek and drove it down to detroit no tabs or anything.. just have the title in ur hand and have it filled out with TODAYS DATE so the cop doesnt think anything of it

because if he impounds the car.. you = fucked...

as long as u take it easy on driving an fix the exhaust so u dont attract attention and have ur friend drive behind u so no cop see's ur plate ull be ok..

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

you have to be 18 to have a car in your name???

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

yes. there are some instances where you can have it in your parents name, but you own the car, but then it just takes 2 signatures to transfer the car.

i've thought about doing this, but i know the auto teacher will have a fit and tell my mom if he found out :l but i'm definately in the process of putting the stock exhaust back on, that ---- is loud as ----

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

Yeah i have my civic in my name and im only 17. ^-^

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

To sign a title over yeah. Under 18 is considered a minor and they can't enter into legally binding contracts without consent.

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

sign her name.
when you turn 18, transfer it to you.

or

don't register it and have someone buy replacement tags/stickers and give em to you for the license plate.

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

I was pretty sure you could own a car under 18.

This seems to just be a case of you waiting a week til you are 18. so STFU and just wait.

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

drive it home as-is. Or go to the DMV and get a one day permit, don't give the DMV the info of the RX7 cause then they will want you to pay up the fees, just use the civic. Shop teacher ask, say I got a permit from the DMV to drive it home. Drive it home, wait a week when you could register it in YOUR name. ---- that registering it in your buddy's name.

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

hah good idea. how much do one of those passes cost? aren't they like $50?

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

Just drive it. You're making it too complicated.

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

or just wait another week

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

u turn 18 in a week? dude just wait

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

in cali it's free. don't give them the info of the rx7, they won't give it to you since it is not registered (or has a deposit of fees). You can try, but most likely they won't.

Bring in your Civic information and say that you left your plates at a shop your car was at and you want to go get them back, or some bs like that.

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

in washington it is 27 bucks for a 3 day trip permit and you don't have to give them any info on the car all you have to do is show them your drivers lisence and they cop your personal info... then you just put the paper in th eback window like when you buy a brand new car..

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

good ----, that's pretty cheap. looks like ima have to do that tomarrow after graduation practice :6

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

HA, "bombs underneath the car" I used to own a 1st Gen RX-7.....Then I cracked an Apex and got the "Bomb" noise that you seem to be describing, Couldnt find any other 12A's and I didnt want to pay for the 13B so i just scrapped it.....as for your situation, I'd say wait it out...It's only a week. Plus, If you ever plan on selling that thing, the less owners the better. O0

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

no the bombs were unburned air and fuel igniting inside of the exhaust system.

aka backfiring :6

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

Those temp permits are like $1 out here in AZ. You can even print them out over the internet(if you have a printer).

Triple-A Plus membership w/ 100 miles free towing (per tow) costs less than transferring a title + vehicle tax twice. It's also damn handy for the rest of the year your membership lasts.

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

ok i just looked it up, your bday is June 26, just ------- wait lol.

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

that's weird. my AAA plan is 3 free tows a year, but mileage isn't limited

but im thinkin im just gonna go get a pass and drive it home :6

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

I got a title transfered when I was 16 in Florida. Dont think my parents signed anything. I had to give proof of insurence but my parents wouldnt need to be there for that either.

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

I have never heard of ANY instance of having to be over the age of 18 to own a vehicle... When I was like 14 I had a car in my name...

Oh, and none of my parents were even there. No consent needed. God bless America and all of our weird ways...

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

i dont know... trusting someone with your car like trusting them not to sleep with your nympho girlfreind while your in jail.

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

true story?

;D

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

I'm jealous of your celica supra.

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

Kill her

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

Yeah, it's a badass car :6. Just wish it ran still >:(

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

score a motor from nippon or somewhere. Shouldn't cost you more than 600 shipped.

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

Haven't been able to find a decent 5m for that much yet... Hard to find a decent 5m period, if they're not blown they're still in the car, lol. I've been scouring ebay lately, came up with a couple ok motors... Also toying with the idea of just ripping apart the one in it and rebuilding it... But i dont have that kinda time, and could buy one with a blown HG or something simple for the same cost..

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

what about a 7mge out of an n/a supra

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

you have like 15 days to transfer the tile so have him sign it over to you and just wait till your bday to take it in to transfer

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

just snag a plate off your other car, slap it on there and dont do anything ------ stupid on your ride home

Re: So how do I transfer a title (without my mom knowing, haha)
 

I'd have to do a lot of rewiring and ----... Those are from the mk3.
