VA does not have any language in it's code about bonded titles.
...but there is language that pretty clearly defines GL as a dealer in the state, which they are not.
We need to work toward a resolution that will get us our titles without additional time and expense. Sorry if it will require...
SS-
I just put in a message to the Comptroller of the VA DMV about this issue. (Ex-family member). He and I spoke at length about the GL / SF97 / titling / illegal collecting of sales tax on vehicles sold in VA issues about a month ago. He indicated that VA DMV was working on / had approved...
Ft. Meade is attached to NSA (National Security Agency) and depending on the day and the mood, security is pretty tight. If you're driving in with a Deuce, you have to go in the truck gate and will be removed from your vehicle and the dogs will check it for bombs or whatever. It clearly is...
Re: power steering
The 5 ton route is an idea, but have you seen what the dealers are bidding those things up to recently? Everything in Richmond went for about 5k yesterday - and most of them were cr@p.
There's quite a few members in the Tidewater area. I'm a few hours away and might be able to help for a trade of 5T parts?
Do you have a lot and/or parts listing?
I'm going to Richmond tomorrow, 8/1 in the am to pick up (another) M35, a diesel compressor, some headphones, and other electronics. Hopefully this won't turn out to be like the last double deuce recovery at Ft. Meade earlier this month - that one took 3 trips.
Am also going to see if I can...
SS-
Talked to my "family" contact at DMV HQ in Richmond and apparently there is something in the works in VA where we probably won't need the SF-97's. They're apparently waiting for the General assembly to send the final documents to them - it's already been approved.
I'll keep you posted when...
Robyn- No problem on the $60 provided it really is 30 days. If GL runs 31 days or more, you know the members here are probably going to yell.
Glad to hear that you guys are finally getting caught up.
Park it in the woods line. It's green and should blend in.
When the wife "thinks" she sees it, tell her shes seeing things and never admit it's actually there. Deny, deny, deny.
If she goes over and finds it, tell her it's the one you've always had.
When she says "Yeah, right - the 1st one...
Dang, I was 3 miles from there today to FINALLY recover the 2 M35's that I got from there that quit running.
Sarah is very agreeable to extending your pick up time if necessary - give her a call.
I've got an M35 (yes, another one), a diesel compressor and a pallet or two of stuff to pick up in Richmond asap. I could probably do it?
Have you talked to Charles at the site? Is this M101 road worthy?
Gonna try and recover the 2 M35's in MD Wednesday. Maybe Friday or Tuesday?
I've got fuel filters (Carquest/Wix) in hand and am going to go try and recover again Friday am.
Am also going to drain the tank (was over 1/2 full at pick-up) into containers and add fresh fuel. Am planning to figure out how to blow out the return line and check the vent.
Any other...
Well........
Picked up the 2 M35's and the M101.
The M101 made it home. The M35's did not.
The one truck we used to tow with ran great for about an hour or so while still on base, but then developed what appears to be a fuel starvation issue. Runs OK then begins to loose power, will stop...
I'm picking up 2 M35's and an M101 at Ft Meade on Wednesday the 9th. If anyone needs anything previewed, just let me know. You can try my cell anytime after 8am Wednesday if you'd like.

We put together a few of my vehicles and trailers for the local Independence Day Parade here in Fairfax, VA. It was to support the Fairfax Lions Club and our Vehicle Donation Program.
We had about 35 people either riding or handing out flyers. The parade attendance was estimated at about...
