One of the bad things about selling cheap cars is the people who buy them often don't put the car in their name. So at 3:00a.m. in the morning, when the idiot takes a drive out in farmer John's field and buries the car up to the bottom of the door, then takes a leg bail, it's YOUR house where the police come knocking...

Just FYI, if you sell a little junker car, take the plates off it. Take them off every time, turn them into the DMV or go with the person to the DMV and watch them change it into their name. If there are no plates on the car, they new owner is pretty much obligated to get it registered to themselves. Let's just call the no plates a "motivator" for them to get it registered immediately and legally relieve you of responsibility.

In our state, there's a form you can fill out that shows you sold the car. But if no one else has registered it, the police come to your door.

As far as yours goes, glad you weren't hurt, hope the rest works out well.
