I would imagine insurance might have some questions, even if the DMV doesn't apparently..

> * Update 7/18/06 * You have to give the California Department of Motor Vehicles (the DMV) credit for creativity on this one. A DMV insider has disclosed to me that the DMV has made a formal request to a federal agency to rule if my Beetle constitutes a threat to national security based on what could happen if it got into the wrong hands. This raises three questions in my mind: #1 Does this mean I’m the right hands? #2 If someone with the name "b_laden13" is the highest eBay bidder for my Beetle can I refuse his offer even if he has the prestigious eBay Red Shooting Star feedback rating (the highest)? #3 Would this affect my eBay rating?

#24I'm out in the Valley quite regularly. People here in Michigan ask me all the time about the difference between the two places outside of weather. This is a prime example.
I've tried real hard but I can't imagine seeing this ad in Detroit. If it happened the press would get ahold of it and make fun of the guy. ;<(

#26I don't want to start another "SF vs Miami/Austin rest of the US" but! An awesome thing in the Bay-Area is all the insane stuff you get on eBay and Craigslist. I bought a Velodyne VLP-16 LIDAR for my mobile robot side project and met up with a guy in SF. He had a startup that ended up using vision only so they sold off their LIDARs.
I've gotta' be honest, this post makes me miss my time living in the Bay Area, Los Altos specifically.
I don't think I'll ever live anywhere else again where one neighbor couldn't fit his new McLaren 720s in his 70's ranchburger garage after a brief drizzle or my other neighbor who no joke - had a red VW bug with a bumper sticker that read "Ham Radio Saves Lives".

#27Thanks for the great laugh. The picture at night with the flames and fire shooting out of a beetle is just amazing. Registration up to date.
"street legal" afterburners perfectly sums up how nuts America seems from over the pond.

I don't browse craiglist much, but I buy a bunch of retro computing / telecom / lab equipment stuff on ebay and the coolest stuff is always local pickup only on the west coast I swear.
