Sell a car to parents to avoid Cali smog?

In CA there is a maximum amount you have to spend for repairs. I think it is about $600. You could just spend that and then you can get a smog certificate as a "gross polluter" and then sell the truck.

The buyer will be able to drive it for 2 years.

You do not need a registration to sell the truck, you just need the title. However, in CA you cannot sell a vehicle that will not pass smog. So, your alternatives are to either junk the truck or donate it to charity and get a $500 tax deduction.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
