...... At FFRJ 11--- 1220 LSIIDMREPAE.WWNLOLN.O EVN OT LRD N OT ERI Dear Classified Guys, Not too long ago I bought a used car from the classifleds. It was a great deal. It ran well and came from the family of an older woman who had given up driving. They informed me before I bought the car that it was In an accident and the front end was repaired. Since they were the origi- nal owners and it ran well, I still bought It. Now two years later, the car continues to run great and has needed no work. However, when I switched insurance companies recently to get better rates, the agent told me that the DMV records showed the car was in 8 accidents in 3 years, all in the front right corner. Now I understand why the woman stopped driving! I heard from a friend that a new government data- base is being developed to help peo- ple search car-titles for problems like this. I know I can buy paid J reports, but this new sys- tern sounded free. I was " wondering if you could tell me more about it. It looks like it may be helpful next time. Carry: After 8 accidents in 3 years, the insurance rates alone might be enough to make anyone stop driving! e C LASSEM Duane "Cash" Holze & Todd "Carry" Holze T- C'fl Cash: You are correct that the gov- ernment is developing a national data- base of motor vehicle information. It's called The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System and its intent is to help warn potential buyers of used cars that are stolen or declared totaled. By simply entering the vehicle's VIN (vehicle identification number), the database will instantly verify the car's title and mileage. Carry: The information is collected from insurance companies, salvage yards and junkyards. All of these com- panies will be required to provide data on vehicles damaged by floods, fires or crashes that cause them to be written off. Cash: The database was actually the result of a law passed in 1992. However, the project was never started. TJien in September of 2008, after a law- suit by consumer groups, a court ruled that the U. S. Department of Justice must begin the project and complete the database by March 2009. Carry: Since the new system is a national database, it has the potential to alleviate problems of information being lost when vehicles are sold or regis- tered in new states. As with anything new, the system may need time to work out the kinks, but it should afford con- sumers another check before buying a, used car. Washed Up While most car purchases are straight- forward and honest; there are some sell- ers who try to take advantage of consumers. In recent years, there has been a popular scam called "title wash- ing" or "brand washing". When a vehi- cle is written offby an insurance company due to damage, such as a flood, the title is marked with a "salvage" brand. These cars may still be drivable, but are now worth far less. However by transferring the title to a state that doesn't recognize the "salvage" status, a new title can be issued without the brand and the vehicle can be sold at a higher price. Retirement Years As we age, our reaction time typical- ly slows down. It's a part of nature and can be a factor when driving a vehicle. According to the National Traffic Highway Safety Administratioh, there are nearly 30 million drivers over the age of 65. This age group accounts for -8% of people injured in a crash, 14% of all fatalities and 19% of pedestrian fatalities. This is higher than any other age group, including teen drivers. * *0 Got a question, funny story, or just want to give us your opinion? Let us hear It.

Funny Pages Ever -since my son received his dri-' ver's license, he's been stretching his curfew more and more. The other night we waited up until 11 pm when he was supposed to be home, but finally went to bed when he didn't show. The next morning at breakfast my husband went outside to get the Sunday newspaper. When he came back in empty handed, he casually asked my son, "So what time did you get home last night?" Appearing nonchalant, my son cooly replied, "It wasn't too late, dad. I was only a little past curfew." Standing there empty handed, my husband connnued, "Then how did mN Sunday. newspaper get under the front tire?"
