I wonder if a car's insurance is valid if it is not registered to your name. If you call the insurance co to put insurance on the car you're buying, and stick any old plate on it and you get in an accident, will the insurance co legally have to cover the damage?

Pick up some cheap diesel injector cleaner for adding to fuel, run it hard 75-85mph all the way home. Also empty the coolant at 2-bit carwash, add fresh water and 6hour coolant flush chemical product to clean out the radiator en route. First stop any auto parts store, settin the car up for high speed Italian tune-up.

Seriously hammer-down all the way back to West Va at top speed. The diesel engine will love you for it. Meanwhile if the wife's already whining and *****ing, take an airplane or bus and leave her home.
