Actually, there is considerable difference, as I understand it, between a legitimate titling process and one done in an effort to avoid claiming the actual $$ value of a vehicle. I will avoid comment on the taxing of vehicles, however the process I mentioned is a legal State operation and statute that requires presenting receipts for the components and labor for which you are taxed. The TU issue as I recall were vehicles being registered as a 1965 Ford, using a vin from a '65 Ford, to avoid declaring the "market" value. Just that process probably violates Federal law. I say this as someone that used TU 30 years ago when they supplied titles for vehicles that really existed but that titles had been lost, at the time there were few options. When they began the other procedures, I have no idea. But they were typically supplying titles, as a private enterprise, to persons out of state. This is a completely different process than going to you state DMV and filing all the paper work and paying the taxes as they are. There is now focus on the emmissions testing aspect. That , I don't believe was the initial trigger, it was the loss of precious $$ the state felt like they were entitled to. Gee, I love that word "entitled"
