What kind of vehicle is best for Puna?

[terracore]

Is there a way to check the back taxes online? I went to buy a car and the title was signed over to the guy selling it but the registration wasn't in his name. The seller pulled up the vehicle information on a website on his phone and it showed no back taxes (I can only find a web site to do this for Oahu vehicles, but I could be wrong). It was the first Friday of the month and the registration office was closed for First Friday Furlough (coincidence?). Of course, there was somebody else who was wanting to look at the car "in 5 minutes" so I had to make a decision quick!

I walked away.
