The car is located in Texas, USA...
I'm actually in the process of selling the car.
The reason is, I'm going through a divorce right now, and am having to sell off all assets to pay off all debts.
My ex-wife is entitled to 50% of everything I own, therefore I have to liquidate what I have.

What??? Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that...
Isn't it in the constitution? Like, a man is entitled to keep his guns, his dog and his car??? It should be...
Quick, transfer the car over to your buddy, leave it in his name a couple of years - WITHOUT HIM DRIVING IT! - and then when all is clear, transfer it back over...
Or, have someone steal it, replace it with a copy, forget where you parked it, find its adoptive parents... there's got to be a way forward, bud!
Send it to me out here!!!!! LOOOOOOOOL Just kidding, bro - sorry, I don't mean to make light of your situation. Sometimes life throws you a curve ball, bud - it's not how you get knocked down, it's how you get back up again!
Best wishes, man, from one fellow car enthusiast over 10k miles away - that's gotta count for something!
