LPT: When selling a car, always keep the Bill of Sale , even selling to a dealer
Recently, I sold a car to a dealer. I also filed a Release of Liability. Since it was sold to a dealer, I thought everything was taken care of. Two months later, I got tickets in the mail. Apparently when dealers buy your car, they don't actually register it; they hold the title until they find a new owner. In my case, the dealer I sold to, transferred the car to dealer #2 , which then sold it to a new buyer. However, that new buyer didn't register the car (or they did but the DMV hasn't processed it yet). So when I got the tickets in the mail, my name is still the registered owner in DMV files. I was able to contest this by showing the Bill of Sale and the Relase of Liability (a pain in the ass nevertheless). But if I didn't keep records, I would be stuck with these tickets.

Customizing My Own Van?
I want to get into van life as a hobby, as I love car camping in my SUV.
Here are my choices:
1. Buy an already built/customized van
2. Buy a regular van, and spend months in my garage customizing it
For option #2 , I have ZERO experience with handy work, and I am not handy at all. However, I am decent at following directions (lol), so, theoretically, I can pull up YouTube videos and follow along.
I am thinking of option #2 as a hobby and a project to gain skills, build something exactly how I want it, and potentially save money. However, my concern is that I might be underestimating the level of skill, motivation, or even cost that this will entail.
What should I go with?
