I guess I find this odd.  Thought I can completely agree with the logic
behind it.  If you register and title the vehicle, then you are
essentially saying that the vehicle is ready for the road.

Georgia has a provision whereby you can "register" the vehicle without
having a real registration..(titles are not required for >20 year old
cars..soo..)  Go down to the tag office and simply pay the .tax. on the
car.  Thats all they want.

Perhaps TX has something similar for project/repairable wrecks, etc?  Has
anyone contacted the DMV to find out?  dont tell them you have an old bus,
eh?  say you are planning on purchasing say a 95 toyota supra or
something from an insurance company and rebuilding it.  You wish to
transfer ownership, but the car willnot be roadworthy for a while......

just my few worthless cents.;)
