That's a helluva way to greet someone asking a fair question, on their first post.

To the O.P.: Texas is supposed to be one of the easier states to get this done, so be thankful for that!

Let us know how it goes.

There's always somebody who feels the need to post a reply like "Use the search" instead of a helpful response. It didn't bother me. I did try a search, but didn't see anything that fit my exact situation, so I thought I'd ask.

The owner did get the car inspected today with no issues and he's ready to go his local courthouse to do the title transfer paperwork on Friday. Then I'll have a vehicle with current inspection and registration for the drive back home. Then it will be a little 7 hour drive in 100 + temps to get back home. I better pack the sunscreen.

to being a crusty old bastard who's been on this site since its beginning and a guy that has owned 20 cobras, a gt40 and a Dayton a coupe. And also believes in research first. This type of thread has repeatedly discussed and there are plenty of search answers to it.

Have a nice day.

I have the information now and if I need to ask another question on the forum, I'll remember not to ask you.

Have a nice day

Edit: it appears you already purchased the car, so take the following with a grain of salt.

Having been here on Club Cobra for many years, I have yet to see anyone speak so disdainfully about Jaycobras. Perhaps he struck a nerve with you as a cobra newbie, or perhaps your own "A" type personality feels slighted (face it, we are all "A" types here), however, you are soon to find out that the Cobra community is a small one, one where we rarely make enemies, and almost always retain knowledge and wisdom from those who know more than others. As such, might I suggest that you take a step back from your venomous post(s) and open your mind to what others may be telling you. Again, I'll say it as someone who has responded to far more requests for information than you can imagine. Also someone who has owned multiple Cobras (23 as of this month) of all shapes, sizes, makes and models. From reading your posts, it appears as you are hot and heavy for a particular car, perhaps due to it's price point, perhaps due to it's color or drivetrain combination, regardless, your judgement is being clouded by your passion, again, I suggest taking a step back and thinking long and hard about the facts vs what the seller may be telling you. Take that step away from the car for a bit (if it is meant to be, it is meant to be, if not, then you already know the answer), read this forum (do a search , you will be amazed at what is contained in the archives), and reread what others have stated, both current posts and in the past. Learn from these posts, that is one of the best features of this forum, that and the comradeship that hanging out here brings.

Yes, Jays seemingly curt response rubbed me the wrong way. I never understand why someone takes the time to respond to a new guys simple question with why don't you use search instead of just answering the question. I did search but didn't find the chaser to my particular situation. Probably I didn't use the right search query, but still a response of use the search wasn't helpful.

As a member of multiple other forums got a variety off other interests, I have never answered a question from another member with why don't you use search. It's hard to get the proper inflection of a persons posts when you're not actually speaking to a person and both of Jays posts came across a condescending.

If they were not meant that way, I apologize to Jay. Other members steered my in the right direction and I got the answer I needed, and I thanked those members for their help.

I appreciate the information I received from the forum and have been reading the archives which contain lots of good information.

Thanks for your input, If someone posts something that rub me the wrong way, I'll step away from the keyboard and think before engaging my fingers and replying.

Thanks Les de NA5AA

Thanks Bill for the kind words and defense but I am at the point in my life that really doesn't take offense to anything that doesn't effect my family and friends. You and I have know each other for so long we are used to each others posts and means of helping. You go out of your way with you answers and patience. I am just a little more direct and to the point. I know that I don't have to *****foot with those that know me and that that don't...just don't matter to me anyway.

I hope that the new owner returned home safely from his trip and I welcome him warmly to any Texas Cobra Club function At least now he remembers the difference between DMV and the county tax office.

By the way dafuser no appologies needed. Like I said I am a crusty old fart.
