This Old Car

It was the end of October that I received an email from the crazy man with an attachment showing that he was trying to transfer ownership of an old car we had into my name before donating it to PBS. The DMV assured me that this would not stick until I signed the form and paid the requisite fees.I was thorough in my explanation to him that 1. I would not get an additional tax credit on a car we had previously claimed as a business deduction, 2. you can't simply can't transfer a car without signatures and fees paid, 3. this created an unnecessary complication in donating the car and could potentially confuse the DMV to have two changes of ownership in a 48 hour period of time and 4. I would relinquish any rights to any value on that car. Apparently, he did not go through with the donation as he called last night and asked if I had received the title! Um, no : )
