Can I buy a car and have it registered at the DMV without the title? Ok, I am about to buy a car from my friend's aunt but the problem is she is currently in the Philippines and when I talked to her she was saying that she doesn't have the pink slip because she haven't paid off the loan for the car! And she said that she is willing to give me the deed of sale so I can have the car and like she will just give me the pink slip once she gets it. My question is can I drive the car and have it registered at the DMV California? Should I just give her the payment and ask for the deed of sale? What are the thing I or she should do so I can get the car title under my name? Can we all do this (the transaction) even if she is currently in the Philippines? I don't think she is planning to go back this year so I don't really know if I can buy the car from her even if she is in not in the US. Pls try to answer the questions with valid explanation. Pls no one liners who are just trying to earn many points on yahoo answer. Your help will be much appreciated. Thank you and have a good day! One more detail, if anyone thinks that she might scam me or something, I don't think she would do that, I just really want to do this the legal way so pls tell the things we need to do so I can finally have the car!

Need Help Re: Sale of Diplomatic/Tax-Exempt Vehicle? Hey guys, I'm hoping you could help me with my problem. Here are the details. I am an employee of the Department of Foreign Affairs and I was assigned to work as a diplomat in a Philippine Embassy in the Middle East last 1999. Last year, I bought a car. I was recalled this year and had to return to the Philippines. I brought my car with me knowing the fact that Filipino diplomats have the privilege under the law of being exempt from tax payment for bringing in vehicles from outside the country. Now, I would like to sell my vehicle. However, I was informed that I cannot do so within three years from arrival of the vehicle in the Philippines. Moreover, I was also told that If I sell my car to a private citizen, such private citizen will have to pay the tax (which was exempt) in addition to our agreed price. Therefore, this means that I need to sell my car way lower than its actual price so that our agreed price + tax payment will be equal to its actual market value/price, otherwise no one will be interested in buying my car. SO... a) Can I sell my vehicle to private citizens? b) Do I have to pay the tax (which was exempt) if I sell my vehicle? If yes, how much? Additional significant info will be appreciated! Thanks and Merry Christmas!

I need someone experienced to check my answer to this question.? Here is the question: Even though World War II was not fought on U.S. soil, the war had a profound impact on Americans in virtually all facets of life. Discuss how the war changed daily life for Americans, the role of citizens in the war effort, and the economic and cultural changes that occurred. In addition, how did various groups, including women, Japanese-Americans and African- Americans, see their lives change because of the war? Finally, why was the U.S. bound to be a different place after the war? My answer is pretty long, I just need someone to read it and tell me what they think...note: I need someone experienced and serious thank you very much :) and one last thing, please answer the last question, I didn't know what to say for what happened after the war. Answer: In order to finance the war,the United States government was willing to spend whatever was necessary. High taxes paid for about 41 percent of the war. The government borrowed the rest of the money from banks, private investors, and the public. Starting late in 1942, the Treasury Department launched bond drives to encourage Americans to buy war bonds. Deficit spending brought wartime prosperity. The War Production Board (WPB) was set up in January 1942 to direct the conversion of peacetime industries to those that made war goods. To centralize agencies such as war production, labor questions, and scarce resources, the President organized the Office of War Mobilization. During World War II, factories that once produced consumer goods converted to war production. The Ford Motor Company built a huge new factory to make B-24 Liberator bombs, using the assembly-line techniques used for cars. Federal spending increased from 9.4 billion dollars in 1939 to 95.2 billion dollars in 1945. So even though the American economy improved during World War II, Americans lived with shortages throughout the war because money and valuable products were used to fund the war. Many familiar consumer items such as metal, rubber, and nylon were unavailable. Due to the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, sugar became a scarce source. (Sugar was imported from the Philippines.) Many shipping lanes were closed, making it hard to bring in tropical fruits or Brazilian coffee. Because of these shortages, daily life for American people changed. American people had to do their best to provide themselves with necessary items. Shortly after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Secretary of Agriculture suggested that families could plant home gardens to make up for the farm produce sent to feed the soldiers. By 1943, "victory gardens" were producing about one third of the country's fresh vegetables. Shortages also produced efforts to recycle scrap metal, paper, and other materials. As the wartime economy expanded, many Americans suddenly found themselves earning more money than they needed for basic necessities. They were eager to spend their money on cars, trucks, or home appliances. Since war production made these products unavailable, they looked for other ways to spend their money. People bought and read more books and magazines when the new Pocket Books company was founded in 1939. Other than books, millions of Americans when to the movies every week. Many movies were influenced by events during the war. Music and sports also kept people enthusiastic during the war. The war also had a large impact on American women. Before the war, most women who worked for wages were single and young. Most people disapproved of married women working outside the home. Social disapproval was reinforced by the fear that women would take jobs away from unemployed men. Even though many Americans disapproved, by 1940 about 15.5% of all married women were working. Few women entered professional careers. They usually worked as sales clerks and household servants. Women with factory jobs usually worked in industries that produced clothing, textiles, and shoes. During World War II, many factory jobs fell vacant as men went to war. Women worked in airplane plants and shipyards as riveters, steelworkers, and welders. Posters and advertisements told women that it was their duty to work for their country. The number of working women rose by almost a third. Women were very pleased to be employed and found it interesting and more challenging than what they had done before. Other women also took jobs for patriotic reasons. Despite some hardships and problems with working, women were eager to prove that they could do whatever jobs required.

Is Manny Pacquiao really a humble guy? Rafael Román Martel Manny Pacquiao has superhuman status in the Philippines. He has brought pride and joy to millions of Filipinos. Just like any hero, his fans prefer to ignore faults and flaws. In boxing the story repeats itself: Wilfredo Gomez, “Chapo” Rosario, Ike Ibeabuchi, Mike Tyson- the list goes on and on. Unfortunately, it seems like Manny Pacquiao is going in that direction. Adored by his people, they choose to turn their backs to any misdeeds in which the champion incurs damage. The gambling habits and heavy debts of the champion are commonly known. Bob Arum, his star promoter, sprays him with perks. For Arum, Pacquiao is what the Fountain of Youth was to Ponce de León- it’s just that Arum counts his years in green, and lets others get hurt without any risk for himself. If Pacquiao generates $60 million in one fight, an extremely conservative amount when you count the sale of the fight to other countries, the Pacquiao products like t-shirts, dolls, etc, and the millions generated by Pay Per View, then a few perks like buying a $235,000 car or paying a moderate gambling debt is a nice deal, a nice perky deal. It seems like Arum, unlike Ponce de León, has found the real Fountain of Youth. With the slight but significant difference that Arum’s fountain springs millions of dollars, and just like a fountain, Pacquiao doesn’t ask any questions. That is because Manny has been too busy with his marital problems. Jinky is not happy. If Jinky gets divorced, Manny will be plummeted into economic abyss. He is already facing some hurdles in paying his bills. He refuses to pay cars. He walks around the Philippines like he owns it. And perhaps he does- that’s up to his fan-cult base. He spends valuable training time dancing with exotic girlfriends without much care about his wife and children, besides the other child his ex-girlfriend claims is his and Manny refuses to pay child support for. The Philippine P goes out on the town- every town that he is in at the moment, that is. He spends lavishly. He gloats about his fame. He tells Arum “I want this” and the magic wand appears, a very expensive magic wand. Arum will recover every penny of Pacquiao’s and the some. On the other hand, Manny- known in the Cuban community as Manolito Pacquiao- is the new king Midas-he will touch Nike soon to make the multimillion company a mega billion empire. Everybody wants a piece of the champion. He will be worshipped until he falls, and that’s when reality sinks in; ask Roberto Duran. Manny is no Roberto Duran, believe me. When Roberto beat the Sugar Man in Montreal in 1980 the streets of Panama City weren’t wide enough for his adoring fans. One year later, when he lost to the same super fighter, you could count with your hands the number of Panamanians who would want to shake his hand. Duran would come back and more but he never forgot that lesson. He had helped the people of his barrio, he erected affordable housing buildings for his people. Every time that someone asked him for money he was there for them. The great Joe Louis fashioned a similar life style. They both ended up in a difficult golden age. We all know how much Louis’ generosity cost him. Duran’s stumbling around trying to get a buck to pay for his next meal. When all seems shiny and green, here comes 2007. The Pacman beat an otherwise unknown Jorge Solis, who fell in the 8th round to never come back to major league boxing. The he took on senior citizen, former great, Marco Antonio Barrera, to beat on him for 12 rounds of a fight in which nothing was proven except that Pacquiao doesn’t have a very good chin. You see, in the 11th round he was hit cleanly coming out of a clinch, and he nearly fell to the canvas. The referee gave him a break. Notice that by that round, Barrera was fighting in a wheelchair and half blind. This fight took place in the midst of controversy; even Harold Lederman has to comment on Pacquiao’s Vida Loca, spending, gambling, going loco on the town. To close 2007, the champ made a movie (?) Anak Ng Kumander, directed by none other than Jose “Kaka” Balagtas. And enter Valerie Concepcion, the sweetheart of the Philippines, young, sweet, beautiful. Custom made for an angry Manny Pacquiao. The kiss scene in the movie was so hot that the screens melted. It was then that Jinky Pacquiao, Manny’s estranged wife, sent Valerie a text message, and all hell broke loose. At the same time Donna was left waiting for the Pacquiao Bus with ticket in hand. She made a brilliant reappearance a couple of weeks ago in some steamy pictures dancing and romancing the champ, who should have been training.
