Can't easily tell if you can drive/insure a car in that salvage-title state -- I did read for VA you can't take it on the highway, but I don't know about other roads. Either way, highway being important, you might want to get this lined up: http://www.dmv.state.va.us/vehicles/#salvehlawreq/repaired_rebuilt.asp //edit: looks like it has to be done by someone with a rebuild license?
