Today in Spyder build adventures.

Florida resident says he does it all the time. He says they don’t care where you’re from.

I posted your dilemma on another forum. Its early yet, but the best response so far is to get it registered in another state with less strict requirements (Vermont or Maine?), then simply transfer it to MO.

Seller petitions for the title, with you and your lawyer’s help. You pay any court/legal costs.

Boy – tough times but glad you guys are OK and your stuff mostly intact.

It looked really bad on TV – Thanks for the update

As long as the Mini didn’t float away on its roof.

Glad you weathered the storm. Quite pleased that all your damage was minor. From the TV coverage we had I envisioned everything ruined. Glad everyone and everything is OK.
