Yes, yes, you've all convinced me!

Now will someone please offer to buy her whole and bring her back to the US to lovingly restore her? I'm (obviously) not looking to get rich on this, all offers will be considered. ;-)

My practical concerns about such a scheme are:

1. Can you buy her, get her titled and registered and insured in your name, in your state, without having her? Otherwise she wouldn't be legal for you to drive home - if I still own and insure her, that is. I guess that must be possible, but I don't know how it works.

2. Brakes definitely need work before she can be driven home. Maybe other things? I don't even know. I wouldn't feel comfortable taking her on a long road trip, but as we all know, I am not a mechanic.

If you're interested, so am I! - I want her to live!

Joy
