Mr. Pete bought a new van ( for us anyway) from a nice man in North Carolina on e-Bay. The transaction went smoothly but of course the devil is in the details. It seems he cannot get plates for the van in N.Carolina because our insurance company is not licensed or registered or whatever in N. Carolina. So Mr. Pete tried to buy some insurance in N. Carolina but they wouldn't sell to him because - wait for it -
he's not a resident of North Carolina!
